Self-spinning particles phase separate and move collectively — •Christian Scholz^2,1, Michael Engel¹, and Thorsten Pöschel¹ — ¹Institute for Multiscale Simulation, FAU Erlangen, Germany — ²Institut für Theoretische Physik 2, HHU Düsseldorf, Germany

We create 3d-printed minimalistic robots that perform self-spinning motion. Binary mixtures of clockwise and counter-clockwise spinning particles phase separate and exhibit collective ballistic motion along the interfaces. We compare our experimental system to Langevin simulations to demonstrate that our macroscopic system is a form of active soft matter. Simulations also allow us to demonstrate that confinement in the system, on long time scales, favors symmetric demixing patterns.
