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

We review theoretical models of individual motility as well as collective dynamics and
pattern formation of active particles. We focus on simple models of active dynamics with a …

My major motivation to think about swarm robotics is the question of how probabilistic local
actions of small robots sum up to rational global patterns shown by the swarm. For the …

Active colloids are microscopic particles, which self-propel through viscous fluids by
converting energy extracted from their environment into directed motion. We first explain …

Active Brownian particles are capable of taking up energy from their environment and
converting it into directed motion; examples range from chemotactic cells and bacteria to …

When we contemplate phenomena as diverse as electrochemical deposition or the spatial
patterns of urban development, it is natural to assume that they havenothing incommon …

Motivated by aggregation phenomena in gliding bacteria, we study collective motion in a two-
dimensional model of active, self-propelled rods interacting through volume exclusion. In …

Chemotaxis is the movement of organisms toward or away from a chemical attractant or
toxin by a biased random walk process. Here we describe the first experimental example of …

Unlike passive Brownian particles, active Brownian particles, also known as
microswimmers, propel themselves with directed motion and thus drive themselves out of …
