Pressure is not a state function for generic active fluids
Pressure is the mechanical force per unit area that a confined system exerts on its container. In thermal equilibrium, it depends only on bulk properties-such as density and temperature-through an equation of state. Here we show that in a wide class of active systems the pressure depends on the prec...
