In periodically sheared suspensions there is a dynamical phase transition characterized by a critical strain amplitude $\gamma_c$ between an absorbing state where particle trajectories are reversible and an active state where trajectories…
Driven soft athermal systems may display a reversible-irreversible transition between an absorbing, arrested state and an active phase where a steady-state dynamics sets in. A paradigmatic example consists in cyclically sheared suspensions…
We examine skyrmions driven periodically over random quenched disorder and show that there is a transition from reversible motion to a state in which the skyrmion trajectories are chaotic or irreversible. We find that the characteristic…
Oscillatory sheared suspensions, when observed stroboscopically, exhibit a reversible-irreversible transition as a function of the strain amplitude, which is a kind of absorbing phase transition. So far studies of this transition focused on…
We examine a two-dimensional system of sterically repulsive interacting disks where each particle runs in a random direction. This system is equivalent to a run-and-tumble dynamics system in the limit where the run time is infinite. At low…
Using simulation and theory we study the dynamics of a colloidal suspension in two dimensions subject to a time-delayed repulsive feedback that depends on the positions of the colloidal particles. The colloidal particles experience an…
We provide evidence that plastic depinning falls into the same class of phenomena as the random organization which was recently studied in periodically driven particle systems [L. Corte et al., Nature Phys. 4, 420 (2008)]. In the plastic…

Biological systems have the unique ability to self-organize and generate autonomous motion and work. Motivated by this, we investigate a 2D model colloidal network that can repeatedly transition between disordered states of low connectivity…
Recent experiments and simulations of amorphous solids plastically deformed by oscillatory drive have foundsurprising behavior - for small strain amplitudes the dynamics can be reversible, which is contrary to the usual notion of plasticity…
One possible framework to interpret the irreversibility transition observed in periodically driven colloidal suspensions is that of a non-equilibrium phase transition towards an absorbing reversible state at low amplitude of the driving…
The emergence of particle irreversibility in periodically driven colloidal suspensions has been interpreted as resulting either from a nonequilibrium phase transition to an absorbing state or from the chaotic nature of particle…
We show that periodically driven superconducting vortices in the presence of quenched disorder exhibit a transition from reversible to irreversible flow under increasing vortex density or cycle period. This type of behavior has recently…
Turbulent pipe flows exhibit organizational states (OSs) that are labelled by discrete azimuthal wavenumber modes and are reminiscent of the traveling wave solutions of low Reynolds number regimes. The discretized time evolution of the OSs,…

The central task in the study of self-organization is to explore the general mechanism of emergences. However, this is inhibited by the missing of a full knowledge of the microscopic dynamics of emergence. Here, in this study, the…
We use molecular dynamics simulations of a simple model to show that dispersions of slightly elongated colloidal particles with long-range dipolar interactions, like ferrofluids, can form a physical (reversible) gel at low volume fractions.…
