We introduce and study a class of active matter models in which we keep track of fuel (stored energy) consumption. They are by construction, thermodynamically consistent. Using the…

Non-reciprocal interactions drive emergent chiral crystallites
S. J. Kole, Xichen Chao, Abraham Mauleon-Amieva +3
We study a new type of 2D active material that exhibits macroscopic phases with two emergent broken symmetries: self-propelled achiral particles that form dense hexatic clusters, w…
