An inertial chiral active Brownian particle confined in a harmonic potential transitions from Gaussian to platykurtic position distribution when harmonic and chiral frequencies match, confirmed by kurtosis dip and non-monotonic MSD.
Bacterial populations exhibit active gas, liquid, glass, and liquid crystal phases that differ from equilibrium thermal counterparts, with implications for physics and biology.
