By designing the shape of an active particle, its transport through a dense crystal can be tailored, as well as its interaction with dislocation defects present in the host crystal.

Undesired advection effects are unavoidable in most nano-technological applications involving active matter. However, it is conceivable to govern the transport of active particles at the small scales by suitably tuning...

An experiment to measure the cross section for high-energy cosmic-ray neutrons and charged nuclear-active particle interactions with Pb and C nuclei has been carried out at an altitude of 2 000 m. Large spark chambers were used in a detector which selected neutrons and charged nuclear-active particles in the region of 100 GeV. The results are σπ(nPb) = (1.65 ± 0.17) barn, σπ(nC) = (0.204 ± 0.02) barn, σπ(πPb) = (1.53 ± 0.17) barn, σπ(πC) = (0.168 ± 0.017) barn.

A generalized reciprocal theorem is formulated for the motion and hydrodynamic force moments of an active particle in an arbitrary background flow of a (weakly nonlinear) complex fluid. This formalism includes as special cases a number of previous calculations of the motion of both passive and active particles in Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids.

Orientation of an active particle could be estimated by comparing its delayed position with the actual one. Therefore, steering process does not require any real-time monitoring of the particle orientation.

We consider a random walks system on ℤ in which each active particle performs a nearest-neighbor random walk and activates all inactive particles it encounters. The movement of an active particle stops when it reaches a certain number of jumps without activating any particle. We prove that if the process relies on efficient particles (i.e. those particles with a small probability of jumping to the left) being placed strategically on ℤ, then it might survive, having active particles at any time with positive probability. On the other hand, we may construct a process that dies out eventually almost surely, even if it relies on efficient particles. That is, we discuss what happens if particles are initially placed very far away from each other or if their probability of jumping to the right tends to 1 but not fast enough.
