Differently from passive Brownian particles, active particles, also known as self-propelled
Brownian particles or microswimmers and nanoswimmers, are capable of taking up energy …

Abstract Active Brownian particles (ABPs) and Run-and-Tumble particles (RTPs) both self-
propel at fixed speed v along a body-axis u that reorients either through slow angular …

Coherent vortical motion has been reported in a wide variety of populations including living
organisms (bacteria, fishes, human crowds) and synthetic active matter (shaken grains …

Dense suspensions of swimming bacteria are known to exhibit collective behaviour arising
from the interplay of steric and hydrodynamic interactions. Unconfined suspensions exhibit …

We derive the stationary probability distribution for a non-equilibrium system composed by
an arbitrary number of degrees of freedom that are subject to Gaussian colored noise and a …

Swimming bacteria display a remarkable tendency to move along flat surfaces for prolonged
times. This behavior may have a biological importance but can also be exploited by using …

Active matter composed of self-propelled interacting units holds a major promise for the
extraction of useful work from its seemingly chaotic dynamics. Streamlining active matter is …

The development of tracking methods for automatically quantifying individual behavior and
social interactions in animal groups has open up new perspectives for building quantitative …

We study catalytic Janus particles and Escherichia coli bacteria swimming in a two-
dimensional colloidal crystal. The Janus particles orbit individual colloids and hop between …

In an equilibrium thermal environment, random elastic collisions between background
particles and a tracer establish the picture of Brownian motion fulfilling the celebrated …
