Physicists have now shown that, depending on the extent to which the propulsion speed of active particles is dependent on their orientation, clusters in different shapes arise in many-particle systems. This might be a possible key to the realization of programmable matter.
Physicists have now shown that, depending on the extent to which the propulsion speed of active particles is dependent on their orientation, clusters in different shapes arise in many-particle systems. This might be a possible key to the realisation of programmable matter.
Using a combination of computer simulations and theoretical derivations, they studied the behaviour of systems consisting of many active particles whose speed depends on orientation, and in the process they discovered a series of new effects.
The background: There is a large number of examples of active particles in biology -- for instance, swimming bacteria or flying birds. Nowadays, it is also possible to realise artificially active particles : one aim, for example, is to implant them in the body for a targeted transportation of medication.A team including physicists has for the first time detected subatomic particles called neutrinos created by a particle collider, namely at CERN's Large Hadron Collider . The discovery ...

Working towards programmable matter: Unexpected behavior discovered in active particlesInvestigating systems consisting of self-propelled particles—so-called active particles—is a rapidly growing area of research. In theoretical models for active particles, it is often assumed that the particles' swimming speed is always the same.
