Understanding actual transport mechanisms of self-propelled particles (SPPs) in complex elastic gels—such as in the cell cytoplasm, in in vitro networks of chromatin or of F-actin …

We theoretically study the conformational and dynamical properties of semiflexible active polar ring polymers under linear shear flow. A ring is described as a continuous semiflexible …
We derive an effective Rouse model for tangentially active polymers, characterised by a constant active force tangent to their backbone. In particular, we show that, once extended to …
Using computer simulations in two dimensions (2D), we explore the structure and dynamics of a star polymer with three arms made of passive monomers immersed in a bath of active …
We present an asymptotic theory for solving the dynamics of slender autophoretic loops and knots. Our formulation is valid for nonintersecting three-dimensional center lines, with …

We investigate a ring polymer under the influence of chiral active Brownian forces in two dimensions using coarse-grained computer simulations. We observe a non-monotonic …
Artificial soft matter systems have appeared as important tools to harness mechanical motion for microscale manipulation. Typically, this motion is driven either by the external fields or by …
Active Brownian disks moving in two dimensions that exchange information about their internal state stochastically are chosen to model epidemic spread in a self-propelled …
