Controlling Compartmentalization Through Active Confinement

Active matter is an exciting area of study that displays promising new behaviors previously unobtainable in equilibrium systems and could help bridge the gap between equilibrium colloidal- and nanoscale particles and living cells. In this talk, we will discuss novel, emergent behavior observed simulations of confined ``cells'' comprised of active particles. We show how the results of a microscopic model are reproduced in a continuum model.
