Motility-Induced Phase Separation (MIPS) is a distinctive phenomenon in active matter that arises from its inherent non-equilibrium nature. Despite recent progress in understanding MIPS in dry active systems, it has been debated whether…
It has been shown recently that the coefficient of collective diffusion in a colloidal monolayer is divergent due to the hydrodynamic interactions mediated by the ambient fluid in bulk. The analysis is extended to allow for time--dependent…
