Nonreciprocal wave-mediated interactions power a classical time crystal
Mia C. Morrell, Leela Elliott, David G. Grier
An acoustic standing wave acts as a lattice of evenly spaced potential energy wells for sub-wavelength-scale objects. Trapped particles interact with each other by exchanging waves…

Scattered waves fuel emergent activity
Ella M. King, Mia C. Morrell, Jacqueline B. Sustiel +3
Active matter taps into external energy sources to power its own processes. Systems of passive particles ordinarily lack this capacity, but can become active if the constituent par…
