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…

In equilibrium liquid crystals, chirality leads to a variety of spectacular three-dimensional structures, but chiral and achiral phases with the same broken continuous symmetries have identical long-time, large-scale dynamics. In this…
A mixture of spinning particles of two different types represents a system where both nonreciprocity and chirality determine the emergent dynamics. In this work we present a minimal model for a two-species mixture of chiral active…
