Topological active matter
In active matter systems, individual constituents convert energy into non-conservative forces or motion at the microscale, leading to morphological...

Phase separation, edge currents, and Hall effect for active matter with Magnus dynamics
AbstractWe examine run-and-tumble disks in two-dimensional systems where the particles also have a Magnus component to their dynamics. For increased...

Hydrodynamic effects on the liquid-hexatic transition of active colloids
We study numerically the role of hydrodynamics in the liquid-hexatic transition of active colloids at intermediate activity, where motility induced...

The “green” use of fluorocarbons in Cherenkov detectors and silicon tracker cooling systems: challenges and opportunities in an unfolding era of alternatives
Saturated fluorocarbons (SFCs) of form C n F (2 n +2) are chosen for their optical properties as Cherenkov radiators, with C 4 F 10 and CF 4 currently used at...
