Scale-coupling from kirigami cuts controls emergent mechanics in liquid crystal elastomers
M. Strugaru, M. Ly, Q. Martinet +2
Conventional materials derive their properties from microscopic composition and arrangement, whereas mechanical metamaterials are defined by mesoscopic structure rather than consti…
Emergent dynamics of active elastic microbeams
Q. Martinet, Y. Li, A. Aubret +2
In equilibrium, the physical properties of matter are set by the interactions between the constituents. In contrast, the energy input of the individual components controls the beha…
Quantitative measurements of non-equilibrium interactions of catalytic microswimmers with dual colloidal tracers
Celso Carrasco, Quentin Martinet, Zaiyi Shen +3
Catalytic microswimmers convert the chemical energy of a fuel into motion, sustaining spatial chemical gradients and fluid flows that drive their propulsion. This leads to unconven…
Roadmap for Animate Matter
Giorgio Volpe, Nuno A. M. Araújo, Maria Guix +37
Humanity has long sought inspiration from nature to innovate materials and devices. As science advances, nature-inspired materials are becoming part of our lives. Animate materials…
Rotation Control, Interlocking and Self-positioning of Active Cogwheels
Q. Martinet, A. Aubret, J. Palacci
Gears and cogwheels restrain degrees of freedom and channel power into a specified motion. They are fundamental components of macroscopic machines. Interlocking microrotors similar…
Metamachines of Pluripotent Colloids
A. Aubret, Q. Martinet, J. Palacci
Machines enabled the Industrial Revolution and are central to modern technological progress: A machine's parts transmit forces, motion, and energy to one another in a predetermined…
