Active Jamming

ORAL

Abstract

Self-propelled micro-particles are intrinsically~out-of-equilibrium. This renders their physics far richer than that of passive colloids while relaxing some thermodynamical constraints and give rise to the emergence of complex phenomena e.g. collective behavior, swarming\textellipsis I will present the effect of a few active particles in a dense 2D layer of passive colloids. Surprising effect arise from the presence of the self-propelled particles which considerably modify the dynamics of the system. The addition of self propelled particles into materials open new perspectives in the design and the properties of new materials
