Physics of smart active matter: integrating active matter and control to gain insights into living systems.

Soft Matter, 2023
We offer our opinion on the benefits of integration of insights from active matter physics with principles of regulatory interactions and control to develop a field we term "smart active matter".

Time irreversibility in active matter, from micro to macro

Nature Reviews Physics, 2021
Active matter encompasses systems whose individual constituents dissipate energy to exert propelling forces on their environment. These systems exhibit dynamical phenomena with no counterpart in passive systems.

Collective Behaviors of Magnetic Active Matter: Recent Progress toward Reconfigurable, Adaptive, and Multifunctional Swarming Micro/Nanorobots.

Accounts of Chemical Research, 2021
ConspectusActive matter refers to the nonequilibrium system composed of interacting units that continually dissipate energy at a single-unit level and transduce it into mechanical force or motion.

What is ‘Active Matter’?

2023
Over the past decades, active matter systems have attracted the attention of scientists from different areas, including physics, engineering, biology, and the human sciences. These systems involve agents that convert some type of energy into directed motion. Examples range from swimming microorganisms to crawling cells to synthetic active colloids.

Optimal Control in Soft and Active Matter

Annual Review of Condensed Matter Physics
Soft and active condensed matter represent a class of fascinating materials that we encounter in our everyday lives—and constitute life itself. Control signals interact with the dynamics of these systems, and this influence is formalized in control ...

Excess Entropy Scaling in Active-Matter Systems.

Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, 2022
Active-matter systems feature discrete particles that can convert stored or ambient free energy into motion. To realize the engineering potential of active matter, there is a strong need for predictive and theoretically grounded techniques for describing

Self-aligning polar active matter

Reviews of Modern Physics
Self-alignment describes the property of a polar active unit to align or anti-align its orientation towards its velocity. In contrast to mutual alignment, where the headings of multiple active units tend to directly align to each other -- as in the ...

Thermodynamics of Active Matter: Tracking Dissipation across Scales

Physical Review X
The concept of entropy has been pivotal in the formulation of thermodynamics. For systems driven away from thermal equilibrium, a comparable role is played by entropy production and dissipation.
