Intelligent Soft Matter: Towards Embodied Intelligence
Vladimir A. Baulin, Achille Giacometti, Dmitry Fedosov +24
Intelligent soft matter stands at the intersection of materials science, physics, and cognitive science, promising to change how we design and interact with materials. This transfo…
Universal law for the dispersal of motile microorganisms in porous media
T. Pietrangeli, R. Foffi, R. Stocker +3
Dispersal is essential to the plethora of motile microorganisms living in porous environments, yet how it relates to movement patterns and pore space structure remains largely unkn…
The 2024 Motile Active Matter Roadmap
Gerhard Gompper, Howard A. Stone, Christina Kurzthaler +29
Activity and autonomous motion are fundamental aspects of many living and engineering systems. Here, the scale of biological agents covers a wide range, from nanomotors, cytoskelet…
Optimal run-and-tumble in slit-like confinement
T. Pietrangeli, C. Ybert, C. Cottin-Bizonne +1
Run-and-tumble is a basic model of persistent motion and a motility strategy widespread in micro-organisms and individual cells. In many natural settings, movement occurs in the pr…
