A polar tracer immersed in an active bath is known to be propelled forward and therefore activated. Here we report that the induced dynamics of an inertial tracer can be much richer than expected. We investigate a heavy polar tracer…
Ensembles of biological and artificial microswimmers produce long-range velocity fields with strong nonequilibrium fluctuations, which result in dramatic increase diffusivity of embedded particles (tracers). While such enhanced diffusivity…
Single-file diffusion refers to the motion in narrow channels of particles which cannot bypass each other. These strong correlations between particles lead to tracer subdiffusion, which has been observed in contexts as varied as transport…
