Active colloids are self-propelled particles moving in viscous fluids by consuming fuel from
their surroundings. Here, we review the numerical and theoretical modeling of active …

Chemically powered nano-and micromotors are microscopic devices that convert chemical
energy into motion. Interest in these motors has grown over the past 20 years because they …

Phase segregation is ubiquitously observed in immiscible mixtures, such as oil and water, in
which the mixing entropy is overcome by the segregation enthalpy,–. In monodispersed …

Motility-induced phase separation (MIPS), the phenomenon in which purely repulsive active
particles undergo a liquid-gas phase separation, is among the simplest and most widely …

The name active matter refers to any collection of entities that individually use free energy to
generate their own motion and forces. Through interactions, active particles spontaneously …

Many real-world scenarios involve interfaces, particularly liquid–liquid interfaces, that can
fundamentally alter the dynamics of colloids. This is poorly understood for chemically active …

Recently, it has been discovered that systems of active Brownian particles (APB) at high
density organise their velocities into coherent domains showing large spatial structures in …

Topological protection ensures stability of information and particle transport against
perturbations. We explore experimentally and computationally the topologically protected …

Distinguishing the operating mechanisms of nano‐and micromotors powered by chemical
gradients, ie “autophoresis”, holds the key for fundamental and applied reasons. In this …

The question of how “smart” active agents, like insects, microorganisms, or future colloidal
robots need to steer to optimally reach or discover a target, such as an odor source, food, or …
