Confinement-induced accumulation and de-mixing of microscopic active-passive mixtures

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Stephen Williams from the (UNIVERSITY) have published the article: Confinement-induced accumulation and de-mixing of microscopic active-passive mixtures, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
  • what: The authors focus on how active matter can be harnessed to transport passive microscopic systems in a statistically predictable way. Using a minimal active-passive system of weakly Brownian pArticles and swimming microalgae, the authors show that spatial confinement leads to a complex non-monotonic steady-state distribution of colloids, with a pronounced peak at the boundary. The authors show that a steady gradient of activity within activepassive suspensions . . .
