We study a two-dimensional gas of inelastic smooth hard dimers. Since the collisions between dimers are dissipative, being characterized by a coefficient of restitution $\alpha<1$, and no external driving force is present, the energy of the…

Run-and-tumble processes successfully model several living systems. While studies have typically focused on particles with isotropic tumbles, recent examples exhibit "tumble-turns", in which particles undergo 90{\deg} tumbles and so possess…
