Differently from passive Brownian particles, active particles, also known as self-propelled
Brownian particles or microswimmers and nanoswimmers, are capable of taking up energy …

Minimal models of active Brownian colloids consisting of self-propelled spherical particles
with purely repulsive interactions have recently been identified as excellent quantitative …

Active colloids are microscopic particles, which self-propel through viscous fluids by
converting energy extracted from their environment into directed motion. We first explain …

The collective phenomena exhibited by artificial active matter systems present novel routes
to fabricating out‐of‐equilibrium microscale assemblies. Here, the crystallization of passive …

These lecture notes are designed to provide a brief introduction into the phenomenology of
active matter and to present some of the analytical tools used to rationalize the emergent …

We investigate the phase behavior and kinetics of a monodisperse mixture of active (ie, self-
propelled) and passive isometric Brownian particles through Brownian dynamics …

The process of crystallization is difficult to observe for transported, out-of-equilibrium
systems, as the continuous energy injection increases activity and competes with ordering …

Understanding the mechanical properties of glasses is a great scientific challenge. A
powerful technique to study the material response on a microscopic scale is microrheology …

Nonaligning self-propelled particles with purely repulsive excluded volume interactions
undergo athermal motility-induced phase separation into a dilute gas and a dense cluster …

How does nonequilibrium activity modify the approach to a glass? This is an important
question, since many experiments reveal the near-glassy nature of the cell interior …
