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…
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…
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…
Metamaterials that learn to change shape
Yao Du, Ryan van Mastrigt, Jonas Veenstra +1
Learning to change shape is a fundamental strategy of adaptation and evolution of living organisms, from bacteria and cells to tissues and animals. Human-made materials can also ex…
Non-reciprocal breathing solitons
Jonas Veenstra, Oleksandr Gamayun, Martin Brandenbourger +4
Breathing solitons consist of a fast beating wave within a compact envelope of stable shape and velocity. They can propagate and carry information and energy in a variety of contex…
Non-reciprocal topological solitons in active metamaterials
Jonas Veenstra, Oleksandr Gamayun, Xiaofei Guo +3
From protein motifs to black holes, topological solitons are pervasive nonlinear excitations that are robust and can be driven by external fields. So far, existing driving mechanis…
Limit cycles turn active matter into robots
Martin Brandenbourger, Colin Scheibner, Jonas Veenstra +2
Active matter composed of energy-generating microscopic constituents is a promising platform to create autonomous functional materials. However, the very presence of these microsco…
