Dynamics of self-propelled granular particles on a vibrated plate — •Tina Hanselka and Ralf Stannarius — Otto-von-Guericke-Universität Magdeburg

Screws sliding on a periodically vibrating plate can be used as a very simple model system to examine the motion of self-propelled particles in 2D. We analyze the active Brownian motion a single screw performs, then we explore the self-organization of large groups of particles, focusing on mixtures between active and passive materials, realized by screw nuts of comparable weights.
