  bibo_abstract:
  - 'Recent studies aimed at investigating artificial analogs of bacterial colonies
    have shown that low-density suspensions of self-propelled particles confined in
    two dimensions can assemble into finite aggregates that merge and split, but have
    a typical size that remains constant (living clusters). In this Letter, we address
    the problem of the formation of living clusters and crystals of active particles
    in three dimensions. We study two systems: self-propelled particles interacting
    via a generic attractive potential and colloids that can move toward each other
    as a result of active agents (e.g., by molecular motors). In both cases, fluidlike
    “living” clusters form. We explain this general feature in terms of the balance
    between active forces and regression to thermodynamic equilibrium. This balance
    can be quantified in terms of a dimensionless number that allows us to collapse
    the observed clustering behavior onto a universal curve. We also discuss how active
    motion affects the kinetics of crystal formation.@eng'
