Living Matter Physics at the foot of Zugspitze: Great science and great hikes at this year’s @LivMatPhys retreat. Many thanks to everyone who contributed and special thanks to @ufs_forschung for the very interesting tour!
Chemical activity, chemotaxis & steric repulsion work together to create complex dynamics in clusters of colloids/enzymes. @krprathyusha, @SahaSuropriya & @RGolestanian from @LivMatPhys analyze fluctuations & glassy behavior in this new paper. @PhysRevLett doi.org/10.1103/PhysRe…
Interesting analogy between strong electrolytes and mixtures of chemically active particles with nonreciprocal interactions: Analytical work by @PierreIllien & @RGolestanian reveals tunable effective mobilities in response to external gradients. @JChemPhys

pubs.aip.org Chemotactic particles as strong electrolytes: Debye–Hückel approximation and effective mobility law We consider a binary mixture of chemically active particles that produce or consume solute molecules and that interact with each other through the long-range co doi.org/10.1063/5.0203…
How efficient is propulsion by interfacial surface tension gradients? Abdallah Daddi-Moussa-Ider, @RGolestanian & @AndrejVilfan derive an analytical theorem for the minimum dissipation, placing Marangoni surfers among the most efficient microswimmers.
