Tuning nonlinear waves in nonreciprocal active filaments

Sami C. Al-Izzi, Jack Binysh, Yao Du +2

The instabilities of slender structures power biological locomotion across scales, and offer a compelling method to actuate soft robots. Nonreciprocal elastic solids have been foun…

More is less in unpercolated active solids

Jack Binysh, Guido Baardink, Jonas Veenstra +2

A 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 a…

Nonreciprocal buckling makes active filaments polyfunctional

Sami C. Al-Izzi, Yao Du, Jonas Veenstra +5

Active filaments are a workhorse for propulsion and actuation across biology, soft robotics and mechanical metamaterials. However, artificial active rods suffer from limited robust…

Geometry of the vapor layer under a Leidenfrost hydrogel sphere

Vicente L. Diaz-Melian, Isaac C. D. Lenton, Jack Binysh +2

A floating Leidenfrost droplet exhibits curvature inversion of its underside, due to the balance of vapor pressure and surface tension. Using interferometric imaging, we find diffe…

Curved Odd Elasticity

Yuan Zhou, Lazaros Tsaloukidis, Jack Binysh +4

Living materials such as membranes, cytoskeletal assemblies, cell collectives and tissues can often be described as active solids---materials that are energized from within, with e…

Wave coarsening drives time crystallization in active solids

Jonas Veenstra, Jack Binysh, Vito Seinen +6

When metals are magnetized, emulsions phase separate, or galaxies cluster, domain walls and patterns form and irremediably coarsen over time. Such coarsening is universally driven…
