A wide range of experimental systems including gliding, swarming and swimming bacteria,
in vitro motility assays, and shaken granular media are commonly described as self …

In this review, we discuss recent advances in the self-assembly of self-propelled colloidal
particles and highlight some of the most exciting results in this field, with a specific focus on …

In this minireview, recent progress in our understanding of the basic physical principles of
microswimmers which perform a motion characterized by chirality is summarized. We …

The concept of swim pressure quantifies the average force exerted by microswimmers on
confining walls in nonequilibrium. Here we explore how the swim pressure depends on the …

A single nonspherical body placed in an active fluid generates currents via breaking of time-
reversal symmetry. We show that, when two or more passive bodies are placed in an active …

Langevin dynamics simulations are employed to study the shape transformation of a two-
dimensional vesicle induced by active particles both inside and outside. We find that the …

We investigate flow pattern formation and viscosity reduction mechanisms in active fluids by
studying a generalized Navier-Stokes model that captures the experimentally observed bulk …

Microswimmers typically operate in complex environments. In biological systems, often
diverse species are simultaneously present and interact with each other. Here, we derive a …

In describing the physics of living organisms, a mathematical theory that captures the
generic ordering principles of intracellular and multicellular dynamics is essential for …

The transport of active particles in straight channels is numerically investigated. The periodic
wedge-shaped barriers can produce the asymmetry of the system and induce the directed …
