Meet The Swirlon – A New State of Active Matter Discovered By Physicists

19. The Emergence of Swirlons

In many cases, you can observe the coalescent of swirlon dynamics in their different phases. Since swirlons attract each other and have a larger mobility, the average mass of them increases, and the mobility will sometimes drop.

This will result in the slowing down of swirlons coalescence. Sometimes, a small number of massive swirlons can vanish and their aggregation stops. Further tests are being carried out to compare the coalescence of swirlons within the aggregation of the vertices in two-dimensional situations.
