Self-propelled colloids constitute an important class of intrinsically non-equilibrium matter. Typically, such a particle moves ballistically at short times, but eventually changes its orientation, and displays random-walk behavior in the…
Active particles with a temperature distribution, "hot particles", have a distinct effect on the fluid that surrounds them. The temperature gradients they create deem the fluid's viscosity spatially dependent, therefore violating the…
