Active matter exhibits a wealth of emerging nonequilibrium behaviours. A paradigmatic
example is the interior of cells, where active components, such as the cytoskeleton, are …

In living organisms, diffusing chemicals react with soft tissue to actuate a range of
mechanical actions, such as periodic pulsations or net motion. Inspired by this biological …

Active matter agents consume internal energy or extract energy from the environment for
locomotion and force generation. Already, rather generic models, such as ensembles of …

The 3D spatiotemporal organization of the human genome inside the cell nucleus remains a
major open question in cellular biology. In the time between two cell divisions, chromatin …

The conformational properties of flexible and semiflexible polymers exposed to active noise
are studied theoretically. The noise may originate from the interaction of the polymer with …

We study the active dynamics of self-propelled asymmetrical colloidal particles (Janus
particles) fueled by an AC electricfield. Both the speed and direction of the self-propulsion …

We develop a rigid multiblob method for numerically solving the mobility problem for
suspensions of passive and active rigid particles of complex shape in Stokes flow in …

Like ordinary molecules are composed of atoms, colloidal molecules consist of several
species of colloidal particles tightly bound together. If one of these components is self …

Worm-like filaments, which are propelled by a tangential homogeneous force along their
contour, are studied as they push loads of different shapes and sizes. The resulting …

The conformational and dynamical properties of semiflexible active Brownian ring polymers
are investigated analytically. A ring is described by the Gaussian semiflexible polymer …
