Spatiotemporal order and emergent edge currents in active spinner materials
Spatiotemporal order and emergent edge currents in active spinner materials
Significance Active materials are composed of building blocks individually powered by internal energy or external fields. Here, we explore the collective behavior of interacting particles with active rotations but no self-propulsion (i.e., active spinning without walking). When many such spinners are brought together, they form unique nonequilibrium steady states reminiscent …
