How does it change the rheology of a colloidal suspension if the colloids are able to self-propel? Read the answer in this @softmatter paper by @BayramGulce@BilkentMech in collaboration with Hartmut Löwen @HHU_de in the framework of @ActiveMatterITN https://t.co/W5i5gX0rRy
Congratulations to the FluidFrame Lab member @BayramGulce who brilliantly presented her work "Shear-induced phase transition in active colloidal suspensions" at #EFMC14 in Athens!
Finally all together in Lisbon!
In this thread, we will describe the different projects through the words of the ESRs. Stay tuned!

It is also even possible to design their artificial versions and give them even cooler names such as Janus particles!

People are generally familiar with the crystallization, for instance the crystallization of sugar/jam. But, how about the active colloids or more general, active matter? Active matter is basically us, humans, birds, fishes or even microorganisms, cells at small scales.
As being a theoretical scientist, we are curious about many phenomena in nature. We try to reproduce their dynamical behaviours to understand them with the help of simulations. In line with this aim, what I am doing is to simulate the crystallization of active colloids.
Experimental Training of Active Matter ITN started. And I am happy to share this news about our first round table on the Phoretic Propulsion Mechanism because it was organized by ESRs this time! Check the latest news on the website!
