Living systems operate far from thermodynamic equilibrium. Enzymatic activity can induce
broken detailed balance at the molecular scale. This molecular scale breaking of detailed …

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 …

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 stationary-state distribution function of confined active Brownian particles (ABPs) is
analyzed by computer simulations and analytical calculations. We consider a radial …

We study the dynamics and conformation of polymers composed by active monomers. By
means of Brownian dynamics simulations we show that, when the direction of the self …

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 …

To understand the dynamical and conformational properties of deformable active agents in
porous media, we computationally investigate the dynamics of linear chains and rings made …

We consider how active forces modeled as non-thermal random noise affect the average
dynamical properties of a Rouse polymer. As the power spectrum of the noise is not known …

The intramolecular dynamics of flexible and semiflexible polymers in response to active
noise is studied theoretically. The active noise may either originate from interactions of a …

In this topical review, we give an overview of the structure and dynamics of a single polymer
chain in active baths, Gaussian or non-Gaussian. The review begins with the discussion of …
