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

The unique plasma-specific features and physical phenomena in the organization of
nanoscale soild-state systems in a broad range of elemental composition, structure, and …

Active particles that are self-propelled by converting energy into mechanical motion
represent an expanding research realm in physics and chemistry. For micrometer-sized …

The enlarged new edition of this textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the
basic processes in plasmas and demonstrates that the same fundamental concepts describe …

Here, we review the basic concepts and applications of the phase-field-crystal (PFC)
method, which is one of the latest simulation methodologies in materials science for …

There is a variety of situations in which Newton's third law is violated. Generally, the action-
reaction symmetry can be broken for mesoscopic particles, when their effective interactions …

We study the thermodynamic properties induced by non-reciprocal interactions between
stochastic degrees of freedom in time-and space-continuous systems. We show that, under …

Strong correlations—cooperative behavior due to many-particle interactions—are
omnipresent in nature. They occur in electrolytic solutions, dense plasmas, ultracold ions …

Unlike in thermodynamic equilibrium where coexisting phases always have the same
temperature, here we show that systems comprising “active” self-propelled particles can self …

Self-propelled particles, which convert energy into mechanical motion, exhibit inertia if they
have a macroscopic size or move inside a gaseous medium, in contrast to micron-sized …
