Motility-induced phase separations in confined active particle systems

Key Points

• Phase separation occurs due to motility, affecting the behavior of active particles confined in limited spaces.
• Key evidence shows that motility induces phase separation, with variations in particle density observed in controlled settings.
• Analysis of confined active particle systems reveals complex dynamical behaviors, highlighting their non-equilibrium nature.
• Understanding these phase separations may enable innovations in material design and applications in micro-scale systems.
