Chiral Active Matter (2207.01923v1)
Published 5 Jul 2022 in cond-mat.soft, cond-mat.stat-mech, and physics.bio-ph
Abstract: Chiral active matter comprises particles which can self-propel and self-rotate. Examples range from sperm cells and bacteria near walls to asymmetric colloids and pea-shaped Quincke rollers. In this perspective article we focus on recent developments in chiral active matter. After briefly discussing chiral active motion at a single particle level, we discuss collective phenomena ranging from vortex arrays and patterns made of rotating micro-flocks to states featuring unusual rheological properties.
