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…

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…

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…

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…

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…
