Locomotion and transport of microorganisms in fluids is an essential aspect of life. Search
for food, orientation toward light, spreading of off-spring, and the formation of colonies are …

Chemically powered micro‐and nanomotors are small devices that are self‐propelled by
catalytic reactions in fluids. Taking inspiration from biomotors, scientists are aiming to find …

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

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

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

ESPResSo is an extensible simulation package for research on soft matter. This versatile
molecular dynamics program was originally developed for coarse-grained simulations of …

One characteristic feature of soft matter systems is their strong response to external stimuli.
As a consequence they are comparatively easily driven out of their ground state and out of …

We derive the stationary probability distribution for a non-equilibrium system composed by
an arbitrary number of degrees of freedom that are subject to Gaussian colored noise and a …

Conventional nonlinear spectroscopy uses classical light to detect matter properties through
the variation of its response with frequencies or time delays. Quantum light opens up new …

Worm-like filaments that are propelled homogeneously along their tangent vector are
studied by Brownian dynamics simulations. Systems in two dimensions are investigated …
