Active matter encompasses systems whose individual constituents dissipate energy to exert
propelling forces on their environment. These systems exhibit dynamical phenomena with …

Active particles that are self-propelled by converting energy into mechanical motion
represent an expanding research realm in physics and chemistry. For micrometer-sized …

Active solids consist of elastically coupled out-of-equilibrium units performing work,,,,,,,,,,,–.
They are central to autonomous processes, such as locomotion, self-oscillations and …

We study the dynamics of a one-dimensional run-and-tumble particle subjected to confining
potentials of the type V (x)= α| x| p, with p> 0. The noise that drives the particle dynamics is …

We study how inertia affects the behavior of self-propelled particles moving through a
viscous solvent by employing the underdamped version of the active Ornstein–Uhlenbeck …

We provide an analytical solution for the time-dependent Fokker-Planck equation for a two-
dimensional active Brownian particle trapped in an isotropic harmonic potential. Using the …

Emergent behavior in collectives of “robotic” units with limited capabilities that is robust and
programmable is a promising route to perform tasks on the micro and nanoscale that are …

We consider an overdamped run-and-tumble particle in two dimensions, with self-propulsion
in an orientation that stochastically rotates by 90∘ at a constant rate, clockwise or …

Self-propelled particles, which convert energy into mechanical motion, exhibit inertia if they
have a macroscopic size or move inside a gaseous medium, in contrast to micron-sized …

Whereas naturally occurring swarms thrive when crowded, physical interactions in robotic
swarms are either avoided or carefully controlled, thus limiting their operational density …
