More is Less in Unpercolated Active Solids
Physical Review XA remarkable feat of active matter physics is that systems as diverse as collections of self-propelled particles, nematics mixed with molecular motors, and interacting robots can all be described by symmetry-based continuum theories.

Orientational ordering in active nematic solids
ArXivIn vivo and in vitro systems of cells and extra-cellular matrix (ECM) systems are well known to form ordered patterns of orientationally aligned fibers. Here, we interpret them as active analogs of the (disordered) isotropic to the (ordered) nematic phase transition seen in passive liquid crystalline elastomers.

Spectral Insights into Active Matter: Exceptional Points and the Mathieu Equation
EntropyWe show that recent numerical findings of universal scaling relations in systems of noisy, aligning self-propelled particles by Rüdiger Kürstencan robustly be explained by perturbation theory and known results for the Mathieu equation with purely ...
