Emergent collective phenomena in a mixture of hard shapes through active rotation

We investigate collective phenomena with rotationally driven spinners of concave shape. Each spinner experiences a constant internal torque in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. Although the spinners are modeled as hard, otherwise noninteracting rigid bodies, their active motion induc...
