Delayed excitations induce polymer looping and coherent motion
We consider inhomogeneous polymers driven by energy-consuming active processes which
encode temporal patterns of athermal kicks. We find that such temporal excitation programs …

A passive star polymer in a dense active bath: insights from computer simulations
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 …
