Microscopic active droplets are able to swim autonomously in viscous flows. This puzzling
feature stems from solute exchanges with the surrounding fluid via surface reactions or their …

Self-propelled droplets are a class of active matter systems composed of one fluid dispersed
in another immiscible fluid. Despite the inherent spherical symmetry in the initial droplet …

The field of active matter, and particularly active emulsions, is growing rapidly, with
significant progress made recently on both theoretical and experimental fronts. Here, we …

A common feature of biological self-organization is how active agents communicate with
each other or their environment via chemical signaling. Such communications, mediated by …

Dynamics of small particles, both living and inanimate, has fascinated scientists for
centuries. Learning how to control it could open technological opportunities in the …

We consider an active Brownian particle moving in a disordered two-dimensional energy or
motility landscape. The averaged mean-square displacement (MSD) of the particle is …

Cooperative motion in biological microswimmers is crucial for their survival as it facilitates
adhesion to surfaces, formation of hierarchical colonies, efficient motion, and enhanced …

To spontaneously break their intrinsic symmetry and self-propel at the micron scale, isotropic
active colloidal particles and droplets exploit the nonlinear convective transport of chemical …

Active droplets emit a chemical solute at their surface that modifies their local interfacial
tension. They exploit the nonlinear coupling of the convective transport of solute to the …

In living and synthetic active matter systems, the constituents can self-propel and interact
with each other and with the environment through various physicochemical mechanisms …
