Non-equilibrium phase separation in mixtures of catalytically active particles: size dispersity and screening effects

Journal article

Living systems are intrinsically out of equilibrium, which makes their physical description challenging. This has led to the emergence, over the past thirty years, of a new field of physics, active matter, which studies collectives whose components dissipate energy to perform work. Two common features of biological and artificial active matter systems are their ability to respond to environmental stimuli through gradient-following behavior, and to affect the fields whose gradients they res...
