Motility-Induced Phase Separation

Michael E. Cates, Julien Tailleur

Short summary

Self-propelled particles, by consuming energy, can spontaneously separate into dense and dilute fluid phases, a phenomenon known as Motility-Induced Phase Separation (MIPS). This process is driven by particles accumulating where they move slower, creating a positive feedback loop.
