Overview

Experimental investigation shows environmental changes impact chaotic dynamics in active particles, suggesting potential applications in active matter systems.

Key Points

  • To explore how changing environments affect the dynamics of synthetic active particles.
  • Experimentally tracked the motion of synthetic active particles in an annular fluid bath.
  • Utilized a dual-frequency waveform to induce active and dormant phases of droplets.
  • Analyzed time series of particles' angular positions for chaotic dynamics.
  • Identified pseudolaminar chaotic dynamics in the angular position of active particles.
  • Noted that increasing driving amplitude alters particle dynamics through symmetry-breaking transitions.
  • Observed changes in wave patterns affecting motility and intermittency of synthetic active matter.
