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…
Light-induced cortical excitability reveals programmable shape dynamics in starfish oocytes
Jinghui Liu, Tom Burkart, Alexander Ziepke +6
Chemo-mechanical waves on active deformable surfaces are a key component for many vital cellular functions. In particular, these waves play a major role in force generation and lon…
Scale-dependent irreversibility in living matter
Tzer Han Tan, Garrett A. Watson, Yu-Chen Chao +4
A defining feature of living matter is the ability to harness energy to self-organize multiscale structures whose functions are facilitated by irreversible nonequilibrium dynamics.…
Odd dynamics of living chiral crystals
Tzer Han Tan, Alexander Mietke, Junang Li +6
Active crystals are highly ordered structures that emerge from the self-organization of motile objects, and have been widely studied in synthetic and bacterial active matter. Wheth…
Self-organization of stress patterns drives state transitions in actin cortices
Tzer Han Tan, Maya Malik Garbi, Enas Abu-Shah +6
Biological functions rely on ordered structures and intricately controlled collective dynamics. In contrast to systems in thermodynamic equilibrium, order is typically established…
