Collective motion of pulsating active particles in confined structures

The collective motion of pulsating active particles with periodic size contraction is investigated in a two-dimensional asymmetric channel. Our findings reveal that changes in particle size can act as a non-equilibrium driving force, disrupting the system’s thermodynamic equilibrium and leading to t...
