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.

Active matter therapeutics. [PDF]
Nano Today, 2020 Nanotherapies based on micelles, liposomes, polymersomes, nanocapsules, magnetic nanoparticles, and noble metal nanoparticles have been at the forefront of drug delivery in the past few decades. Some of these nanopharmaceuticals have been commercially applied to treat a wide range of diseases, from dry eye syndrome to cancer.

Physical Review Letters, 2023 We reveal that the mechanical pulsation of locally synchronised particles is a generic route to propagate deformation waves. We consider a model of dense repulsive particles whose activity drives periodic change in size of each individual. The dynamics is inspired by biological tissues where cells consume fuel to sustain active deformation.

Europhysics Letters, 2022 Abstract Chiral active matter comprises particles which can self-propel and self-rotate. Examples range from sperm cells and bacteria near walls to autophoretic L-shaped colloids. In this perspective article we focus on recent developments in chiral active matter.

The European Physical Journal E, 2013 The study of systems with sustained energy uptake and dissipation at the scale of the constituent particles is an area of central interest in nonequilibrium statistical physics. Identifying such systems as a distinct category -- Active Matter -- unifies our understanding of autonomous collective move- ment in the living world and in some surprising ...
