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…
