The bottom‐up construction of an artificial cell requires the realization of synthetic cell
division. Significant progress has been made toward reliable compartment division, yet …

Recent experiments and simulations have revealed glassy features in, eg, cytoplasm, living
tissues and dense assemblies of self-propelled colloids. This leads to a fundamental …

Stem cells exhibit prominent clusters controlling the transcription of genes into RNA. These
clusters form by a phase-separation mechanism, and their size and shape are controlled via …

In living and engineered systems of active particles, self-propulsion induces an unjamming
transition from a solid to a fluid phase and phase separation between a gas and a liquidlike …

Many organisms in nature use local interactions to generate global cooperative phenomena.
To unravel how the behavior of individuals generates effective interactions within a group …

We investigate the effect of initial conditions on the fluctuations of the integrated density
current across the origin (x= 0) up to a given time t in a one-dimensional system of non …

Active glassy systems are simple model systems that imitate complex biological processes.
Sometimes, it becomes crucial to estimate the amount of activity present in such biological …

This paper proposes using the configurational temperature T conf for quantifying how far an
active-matter system is from thermal equilibrium. We measure this “distance” by the ratio of …

In experiments and simulations of passive as well as active matter the most commonly
studied kind of parameter polydispersity is that of varying particles size. This paper …

We study the active Potts model with either site occupancy restriction or on-site repulsion to
explore jamming and kinetic arrest in a flocking model. The incorporation of such volume …
