Taming polar active matter with moving substrates: directed transport and counterpropagating macrobands

Following the goal of using active particles as targeted cargo carriers aimed, for example, to deliver drugs towards cancer cells, the quest for the control of individual active particles with external fields is among the most explored topics in active matter. Here, we provide a scheme allowing to c...
