Active matter, which ranges from molecular motors to groups of animals, exists at different
length scales and timescales, and various computational models have been proposed to …

Classical dynamical density functional theory (DDFT) is one of the cornerstones of modern
statistical mechanics. It is an extension of the highly successful method of classical density …

We study the statistical properties of active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck particles (AOUPs). In this
simplest of models, the Gaussian white noise of overdamped Brownian colloids is replaced …

Activity and autonomous motion are fundamental in living and engineering systems. This
has stimulated the new field of'active matter'in recent years, which focuses on the physical …

Liquid-liquid phase separation yields spherical droplets that eventually coarsen to one
large, stable droplet governed by the principle of minimal free energy. In chemically fueled …

Pair interactions between active particles need not follow Newton's third law. In this work, we
propose a continuum model of pattern formation due to nonreciprocal interaction between …

We study a system of purely repulsive spherical self-propelled particles in the minimal setup
inducing motility-induced phase separation (MIPS). We show that, even if explicit alignment …

Active systems evade the rules of equilibrium thermodynamics by constantly dissipating
energy at the level of their microscopic components. This energy flux stems from the …

Living cells are spatially organized by compartments that can nucleate, grow, and dissolve.
Compartmentalization can emerge by phase separation, leading to the formation of droplets …

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