Colloidal transport by light induced gradients of active pressure

Abstract Active fluids, like all other fluids, exert mechanical pressure on confining walls. Unlike equilibrium, this pressure is generally not a function of the fluid state in the bulk and displays some peculiar properties. For example, when activity is not uniform, fluid regions with different act...
