Colloquium: Inclusions, boundaries, and disorder in scalar active matter

O Granek, Y Kafri, M Kardar, S Ro, J Tailleur… - Reviews of Modern …, 2024 - APS
Active systems are driven out of equilibrium by exchanging energy and momentum with their
environment. This endows them with anomalous mechanical properties that are reviewed in …

Active matter under control: Insights from response theory

LK Davis, K Proesmans, É Fodor - Physical Review X, 2024 - APS
Active constituents burn fuel to sustain individual motion, giving rise to collective effects that
are not seen in systems at thermal equilibrium, such as phase separation with purely …

Run-and-tumble motion in a linear ratchet potential: Analytic solution, power extraction, and first-passage properties

C Roberts, Z Zhen - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
We explore the properties of run-and-tumble particles moving in a piecewise-linear “ratchet”
potential by deriving analytic results for the system's steady-state probability density, current …

An investigation on the compositional effects of 3D graphite on the electrochemical performance of NiO-Co3O4 composite

DP PS, A Philip, AR Kumar - Diamond and Related Materials, 2024 - Elsevier
Supercapacitors have gained a lot of attention, and their commercialization requires finding
suitable nanomaterials to build a stable electrode of sufficient capacitance. Nanomaterials …

The effects of roughness of the periodic substrate potential on anomalous mobility

X Zhuo, Y Guo - Nonlinear Dynamics, 2024 - Springer
We investigate the anomalous mobility and diffusion of an inertial Brownian particle moving
in a rough periodic substrate potential subjected to a time-periodic force and external bias in …

Non-Brownian dynamics of biased viscoelastic diffusion in Gaussian random environments

K Suleiman, Y Li, Y Xu - The European Physical Journal Plus, 2024 - epjplus.epj.org
Field-driven particle diffusion in heterogeneous viscoelastic environments is a ubiquitous
process in biological systems such as cell cytoplasm. In this paper, we study the behavior of …

Transport and diffusion of active Brownian particles in a new asymmetric bistable system driven by two Gaussian colored noises

XJ Zhuo, YF Guo - Physica Scripta, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org

H Coban - arXiv preprint arXiv:2408.07064, 2024 - arxiv.org
We prove that nested canalizing functions are the minimum-sensitivity Boolean functions for
any activity ratio and we determine the functional form of this boundary which has a …

A dynamical mechanism rooted in the Lorenz system for giant negative and positive mobility of a memory-driven active particle

RN Valani, BS Dandogbessi - arXiv preprint arXiv:2408.00168, 2024 - arxiv.org
On applying a small bias force, non-equilibrium systems may respond in paradoxical ways
such as with giant negative mobility (GNM)--a large net drift opposite to the applied bias, or …

Effects of collective patterns, confinement, and fluid flow on active particle transport
