Dynamical active particles in the overdamped limit

Mobile microscopic bodies, such as motile cells, can be modelled phenomenologically as ‘active particles’ which can move against external forces by depleting an internal energy depot. The microscopic mechanisms underlying such ‘active’ behaviour must ultimately obey fundamental physics: energy depot...
