Motility-induced phase separation (MIPS) is a paradigmatic non-equilibrium transition in active matter, determined by the P\'eclet number and packing fraction. We investigate the single-phase and phase-separated regimes of MIPS using a…

We present a novel Monte Carlo simulation of the phase separation dynamics of a model fluid membrane. Such a phase segregation induces shape changes of the membrane and results in local `budding' under favourable conditions. We present a…
