Active systems are driven out of equilibrium by exchanging energy and momentum with their environment. This endows them with anomalous mechanical properties that are reviewed in …
We derive the long-time dynamics of a tracer immersed in a one-dimensional active bath. In contrast to previous studies, we find that the damping and noise correlations possess long …
In active matter, particles typically experience mediated interactions, which are not constrained by Newton's third law and are therefore generically non-reciprocal. Non …
We derive the fluctuation dynamics of a probe in weak coupling with a living medium, modeled as particles undergoing an active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck dynamics. Nondissipative …

An active bath, made of self-propelling units, is a nonequilibrium medium in which the Einstein relation D= μk BT between the mobility μ and the diffusivity D of a tracer particle …
We show that disordered boundaries destroy bulk phase separation in scalar active systems in dimension d< dc= 3. This is in strong contrast with the equilibrium case where boundaries …
We study the impact of quenched random potentials and torques on scalar active matter. Microscopic simulations reveal that motility-induced phase separation is replaced in two …
We show from experiments and simulations on vibration-activated granular matter that self- propelled polar rods in an elastic medium on a substrate turn and move towards each other …
Across a variety of spatial scales, from nanoscale biological systems to micron-scale colloidal systems, equilibrium self-assembly is entirely dictated by—and therefore limited by …
