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…
Combinatorial Design of Floppy Modes and Frustrated Loops in Metamaterials
Wenfeng Liu, Tomer A. Sigalov, Corentin Coulais +1
Metamaterials are a promising platform for a range of applications, from shock absorption to mechanical computing. These functionalities typically rely on floppy modes or mechanica…
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…
