We revisit motility-induced phase separation in two models of active particles interacting by pairwise repulsion. We show that the resulting dense phase contains gas bubbles distributed algebraically up to a typically large cutoff scale. At large enough system size and/or global density, all the gas may be contained inside the bubbles, at which point the system is microphase-separated with a finite cut-off bubble scale. We observe that the ordering is anomalous, with different dynamics for the coarsening of the dense phase and of the gas bubbles. This phenomenology is reproduced by a reduced bubble model that implements the basic idea of reverse Ostwald ripening put forward in Tjhung et al. [Phys. Rev. X 8, 031080 (2018)].
We introduce a simple physical picture to explain the process of molecular sorting, whereby specific proteins are concentrated and distilled into submicrometric lipid vesicles in eukaryotic cells. To this purpose, we formulate a model based on the co
We study the large deviations of the distribution P(W_tau) of the work associated with the propulsion of individual active brownian particles in a time interval tau, in the region of the phase diagram where macroscopic phase separation takes place. P
Chemotaxis receptors in E. coli form clusters at the cell poles and also laterally along the cell body, and this clustering plays an important role in signal transduction. Recently, experiments using flourrescence imaging have shown that, during cell
We study the collective dynamics of repulsive self-propelled particles. The particles are governed by coupled equations of motion that include polar self-propulsion, damping of velocity and of polarity, repulsive particle-particle interaction, and de
Continuum models with critical end points are considered whose Hamiltonian ${mathcal{H}}[phi,psi]$ depends on two densities $phi$ and $psi$. Field-theoretic methods are used to show the equivalence of the critical behavior on the critical line and at
