Self-assembled active systems - from individuals to a collective behaviour — •Aitor Martin-Gomez, Gerhard Gompper, and Roland G. Winkler — Forschungszentrum Juelich (ICS-2), Juelich, Germany

Active matter is comprised of agents which either convert internal energy or exploit energy from the environment to generate directed motion. Its associated out-of-equilibrium character is the origin of a number of fascinating phenomena. In particular, active systems with many internal degrees of freedom like filamentous, polymer-like structures are involved in various biological processes and exhibit novel conformational and dynamical properties. Moreover, the study of collective behavior emerging from the non-linear contributions of many individuals is an ongoing, open question. In conclusion, to shed light onto the effect of such active systems, or their passive counterparts embedded in an active environment, we perform analytical calculations combined to advanced computer simulations.
