Mashup Score: 3From a microscopic inertial active matter model to the Schrödinger equation - Nature Communications - 1 year(s) ago
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.

Mashup Score: 3
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.

Mashup Score: 0
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.

Mashup Score: 0Confinement-induced accumulation and de-mixing of microscopic active-passive mixtures - Nature Communications - 2 year(s) ago
Understanding how order emerges in active matter may facilitate macroscopic control of microscopic objects. Here, Williams et al. show how to control the transport of passive microscopic particles in presence of motile algae in conjunction with boundary-induced accumulation of microswimmers.

Mashup Score: 2Unjamming and emergent nonreciprocity in active ploughing through a compressible viscoelastic fluid - Nature Communications - 2 year(s) ago
The field of dense active matter has been the fount of many intriguing phenomena. Here, authors show that nonreciprocal interactions can emerge between active particles due to a dynamical feedback between their motility and the corresponding slow remodelling of a dense passive compressible medium.
