    Active field theories are powerful tools to explain phenomena such as motility-induced phase separation. The authors report an active analogue to the quantum mechanics tunneling effect, showing similarity to the Schrödinger equation, by introducing an extended model applicable to active particles with inertia.

    The communication in active systems plays an important role in their self-organization, yet the detail is not fully understood. Here, Ziepke et al. show the formation of complex structures at multiple scales amongst interactive agents that locally process information transmitted by chemical signals.

    The boundary of conventional liquid crystals is known to anchor the orientational field of the passive materials under equilibrium conditions. Here, the authors show an active nematic to develop active boundary layers that topologically polarize the confining walls regardless of the wall curvature.
