DNA nanoparticles with three-fold coordination have been observed to self-assemble in experiment into a network equivalent to the hexagonal (6.6.6) tiling, and a network equivalent to the 4.8.8 Archimedean tiling. Both networks are built from a single type of vertex. Here we use analytic theory and equilibrium and dynamic simulation to show that a model particle, whose rotational properties lie between those those of the vertices of the 6.6.6 and 4.8.8 networks, can self-assemble into a network built from three types of vertex. Important in forming this network is the ability of the particle to rotate when bound, thereby allowing the formation of more than one type of binding motif. The network in question is equivalent to a false tiling, a periodic structure built from irregular polygons, and possesses 40 particles in its unit cell. The emergence of this complex structure, whose symmetry properties are not obviously related to those of its constituent particles, highlights the potential for creating new structures from simple variants of existing nanoparticles.

We derive hydrodynamics of a prototypical one dimensional model, having variable-range hopping, which mimics passive diffusion and ballistic motion of active, or self-propelled, particles. The model has two main ingredients - the hardcore interaction
and the competing mechanisms of short and long range hopping. We calculate two density-dependent transport coefficients - the bulk-diffusion coefficient and the conductivity, the ratio of which, despite violation of detailed balance, is connected to number fluctuation by an Einstein relation. In the limit of infinite range hopping, the model exhibits, upon tuning density $rho$ (or activity), a superfluid transition from a finitely conducting state to an infinitely conducting one, characterized by a divergence in conductivity $chi(rho) sim (rho-rho_c)^{-1}$ with $rho_c$ being the critical density. The diverging conductivity greatly increases particle (or vacancy) mobility and induces giant number fluctuations in the system.
Langevin equations for the self-thermophoretic dynamics of Janus motors partially coated with an absorbing layer that is heated by a radiation field are presented. The derivation of these equations is based on fluctuating hydrodynamics and radiative
heat transfer theory involving stochastic equations for bulk phases and surface processes that are consistent with microscopic reversibility. Expressions for the self-thermophoretic force and torque for arbitrary slip boundary conditions are obtained. The overdamped Langevin equations for the colloid displacement and radiative heat transfer provide expressions for the self-thermophoretic velocity and its reciprocal contribution where an external force can influence the radiative heat transfer. A nonequilibrium fluctuation formula is also derived and shows how the probability density of the Janus particle displacement and radiation energy transfer during the time interval [0,t] are related to the mechanical and thermal affinities that characterize the nonequilibrium system state.
Within simulations of molecules deposited on a surface we show that neuroevolutionary learning can design particles and time-dependent protocols to promote self-assembly, without input from physical concepts such as thermal equilibrium or mechanical
stability and without prior knowledge of candidate or competing structures. The learning algorithm is capable of both directed and exploratory design: it can assemble a material with a user-defined property, or search for novelty in the space of specified order parameters. In the latter mode it explores the space of what can be made rather than the space of structures that are low in energy but not necessarily kinetically accessible.
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 eno
ugh 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 study the behaviour of interacting self-propelled particles, whose self-propulsion speed decreases with their local density. By combining direct simulations of the microscopic model with an analysis of the hydrodynamic equations obtained by explic
itly coarse graining the model, we show that interactions lead generically to the formation of a host of patterns, including moving clumps, active lanes and asters. This general mechanism could explain many of the patterns seen in recent experiments and simulations.
