Three phases of odd robotic active matter
Fan Bo, Shiqi Liu, Zenghong He +8
Nonreciprocal interactions in active matter are known to generate exotic mechanical behaviors such as odd elasticity and odd viscosity. However, these phenomena have largely been s…

Timed material self-assembly controlled by circadian clock proteins
Gregor Leech, Lauren Melcher, Michelle Chiu +10
Active biological molecules present a powerful, yet largely untapped, opportunity to impart autonomous regulation to materials. Because these systems can function robustly to regul…

Active Cytoskeletal Composites Display Emergent Tunable Contractility and Restructuring
Gloria Lee, Gregor Leech, Pancy Lwin +7
The cytoskeleton is a model active matter system that controls diverse cellular processes from division to motility. While both active actomyosin dynamics and actin-microtubule int…
