7.1 Introduction to active matter

Active matter has been a fascinating subject of research owing to its ubiquity in nature. The rich array of behavioral dynamics exhibited by these self-propelling systems holds immense significance in fields ranging from biophysics [1 and 2] to crowd dynamics [3] to swarm robotics [4]. Structural features such as cluster formation, motility-induced phase separation, and giant ...
