Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2021 Phase-change material–elastomer composite (PCMEC) actuators are composed of a soft elastomer matrix embedding a phase-change fluid, typically ethanol, in microbubbles. When increasing the temperature, the phase change in each bubble induces a macroscopic

Towards a thermodynamics of active matter [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2015 Self-propulsion allows living systems to display unusual collective behavior. Unlike passive systems in thermal equilibrium, active matter systems are not constrained by conventional thermodynamic laws. A question arises however as to what extent, if any, can concepts from classical thermodynamics be applied to nonequilibrium systems like active matter.

Anomalous cell sorting behavior in mixed monolayers discloses hidden system complexities
New Journal of Physics, 2021 In tissue development, wound healing and aberrant cancer progression cell–cell interactions drive mixing and segregation of cellular composites. However, the exact nature of these interactions is unsettled.

Alignments of a Microparticle Pair in a Glow Discharge
Molecules, 2021 Stability of a vertically aligned microparticle pair in a stratified glow DC discharge is experimentally investigated. Using laser perturbations, it is shown that, for the same discharge parameters, a pair of microparticles can be suspended in two stable

Theoretical framework for two-microswimmer hydrodynamic interactions
New Journal of Physics, 2021 Hydrodynamic interactions are crucial for determining the cooperative behavior of microswimmers at low Reynolds numbers. Here we provide a comprehensive analysis of the scaling laws and the strength of the interactions in the case of a pair of three ...

Influence of particle softness on active glassy dynamics [PDF]
, 2022 Active matter studies are increasingly geared towards the high-density or glassy limit. This is mainly inspired by the remarkable resemblance between active glassy materials and conventional passive glassy matter.
