Interplay of chemotactic force, Péclet number, and dimensionality dictates the dynamics of auto-chemotactic chiral active droplets

CW Chan, Z Yang, Z Gan, R Zhang - The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2024 - pubs.aip.org
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 …

Using Activity to Compartmentalize Binary Mixtures

NJ Lauersdorf, E Nazockdast, D Klotsa - arXiv preprint arXiv:2407.07826, 2024 - arxiv.org
We computationally study suspensions of slow and fast active Brownian particles that have
undergone motility induced phase separation and are at steady state. Such mixtures, of …

Tunable Shape Oscillations of Adaptive Droplets

T Dullweber, R Belousov, A Erzberger - arXiv preprint arXiv:2402.08664, 2024 - arxiv.org
Living materials adapt their shape to signals from the environment, yet the impact of shape
changes on signal processing and the associated feedback dynamics remain unclear. We …
