About this ebook

The Colloidal Active Matter: Concepts, Experimental Realizations, and Models (1st Edition), written by Francesc Sagués Mestre for the Advances in Biochemistry and Biophysics series, provides a comprehensive overview of active matter at the micro- and nanoscale. [1]

The book is structured to bridge the gap between colloidal soft matter and cell biophysics, presenting topics through a combination of experiments, concepts, and theoretical models. The primary topics and themes covered include: [1]

Microswimmers and Self-Propelled Particles: Analysis of individual autonomous agents, how they achieve self-propulsion at the microscopic scale, and their far-from-equilibrium behavior. [1, 2]
Driven Colloids: Study of particles manipulated or energized by external fields (like magnetic or electric fields) to inject energy and angular momentum into the system. [1, 2]
Self-Organized Active Fluids: Exploration of how individual active components interact to form larger, collective fluid-like structures. [1]
Generic Collective Effects: Focused coverage on emergent behaviors, specifically highlighting motility-induced flocking and spatial phase transitions. [1]
Active Nematics: Deep dive into new paradigms of topological defects and flows in reconstituted, protein-based fluids (such as cytoskeletal networks consisting of actin or microtubules and motor proteins). [1, 2]
Multidisciplinary Bridging: Connecting well-known experimental scenarios to recognized physical and biological theories, analyzing systems ranging from bacterial swarms and bird flocks to cell tissues and synthetic active materials. [1]
