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…

Hydrodynamics converts chiral flagellar rotation into contactless actuation of microdiscs

Daniel Grober, Tanumoy Dhar, David Saintillan +1

Motile bacteria are a wonder of nature's engineering: microscopic engines that transduce biochemical energy into the work they require to explore their environment. This added ener…

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…
