Abstract

Active systems made of self-propelled units are widespread in nature, and Active Brownian particles (ABPs) are one of the simplest such system The authors theoretically and numerically investigate the collective assembly of ABPs finding a new re-entrant phase that enables motility-induced phase separation, which is dependent solely on activity.
