We study the diffusivity of a tagged particle in a binary mixture of Brownian particles with non-reciprocal interactions. Numerical simulations reveal that, for a broad class of interaction potentials, non-reciprocity can significantly…

We study the transport properties of a system of active particles moving at constant speed in an heterogeneous two-dimensional space. The spatial heterogeneity is modeled by a random distribution of obstacles, which the active particles…
We derive the long-time dynamics of a tracer immersed in a one-dimensional active bath. In contrast to previous studies, we find that the damping and noise correlations possess long-time tails with exponents that depend on the tracer…
This paper considers particle propagation in a cylindrical molecular communication channel, e.g. a simplified model of a blood vessel. Emitted particles are influenced by diffusion, flow, and a vertical force induced e.g. by gravity or…
We uncover an emergent universality in the large-scale, long-time statistics of a one-dimensional hard-rod gas evolving under two fundamentally different classes of microscopic dynamics: stochastic (diffusive) and unitary (ballistic).…
Combining experiments and theory, we address the dynamics of self-propelled particles in crowded environments. We first demonstrate that motile colloids cruising at constant speed through random lattices undergo a smooth transition from…

Hydrodynamic interactions between particles confined in a liquid-filled linear channel are known to be screened beyond a distance comparable to the channel width. Using a simple analytical theory and lattice-Boltzmann simulations, we show…
