Nano/Micromotors in Active Matter [PDF]
Micromachines, 2022 Nano/micromotors (NMMs) are tiny objects capable of converting energy into mechanical motion. Recently, a wealth of active matter including synthetic colloids, cytoskeletons, bacteria, and cells have been used to construct NMMs. The self-sustained motion

The Mechanics and Statistics of Active Matter [PDF]
Annual Review of Condensed Matter Physics, 2010 Active particles contain internal degrees of freedom with the ability to take in and dissipate energy and, in the process, execute systematic movement. Examples include all living organisms and their motile constituents such as molecular motors.

Active matter clusters at interfaces [PDF]
Frontiers in Materials, 2016 Collective and directed motility or swarming is an emergent phenomenon displayed by many self-organized assemblies of active biological matter such as clusters of embryonic cells during tissue development, cancerous cells during tumor formation and ...

Differential-activity driven instabilities in biphasic active matter [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2017 Active stresses can cause instabilities in contractile gels and living tissues. Here we describe a generic hydrodynamic theory that treats these systems as a mixture of two phases of varying activity and different mechanical properties.

Amorphous entangled active matter. [PDF]
Soft Matter, 2023 Examining the properties of amorphous entangled systems through in silico simulations and in living aggregates of worm blobs, large-amplitude changes of the particle's shape improve the entanglement and tensile strength of the collective.

Light, Matter, Action: Shining Light on Active Matter. [PDF]
ACS Photonics, 2023 Light carries energy and momentum. It can therefore alter the motion of objects from atomic to astronomical scales. Being widely available, readily controllable and broadly biocompatible, light is also an ideal tool to propel microscopic particles, drive them out of thermodynamic equilibrium and make them active.
