Curved Odd Elasticity
Yuan Zhou, Lazaros Tsaloukidis, Jack Binysh +4
Living materials such as membranes, cytoskeletal assemblies, cell collectives and tissues can often be described as active solids---materials that are energized from within, with e…
Topological flowscape reveals state transitions in nonreciprocal living matter
Hyunseok Lee, EliseAnne Koskelo, Shreyas Gokhale +7
Nonreciprocal interactions -- where forces between entities are asymmetric -- govern a wide range of nonequilibrium phenomena, yet their role in structural transitions in living an…
Selective excitation of work-generating cycles in nonreciprocal living solids
Yu-Chen Chao, Shreyas Gokhale, Lisa Lin +8
Emergent nonreciprocity in active matter drives the formation of self-organized states that transcend the behaviors of equilibrium systems. Integrating experiments, theory and simu…
Light-induced cortical excitability reveals programmable shape dynamics in starfish oocytes
Jinghui Liu, Tom Burkart, Alexander Ziepke +6
Chemo-mechanical waves on active deformable surfaces are a key component for many vital cellular functions. In particular, these waves play a major role in force generation and lon…
Measuring irreversibility from learned representations of biological patterns
Junang Li, Chih-Wei Joshua Liu, Michal Szurek +1
Thermodynamic irreversibility is a crucial property of living matter. Irreversible processes maintain spatiotemporally complex structures and functions characteristic of living sys…
Dissipative timescales from coarse-graining irreversibility
Freddy A. Cisneros, Nikta Fakhri, Jordan M. Horowitz
We propose and investigate a method for identifying timescales of dissipation in nonequilibrium steady states modeled as discrete-state Markov jump processes. The method is based o…
Dynamic clustering of passive colloids in dense suspensions of motile bacteria
Shreyas Gokhale, Junang Li, Alexandre Solon +2
Mixtures of active and passive particles are predicted to exhibit a variety of nonequilibrium phases. Here we report a dynamic clustering phase in mixtures of colloids and motile b…
Symmetry, Thermodynamics and Topology in Active Matter
Mark J. Bowick, Nikta Fakhri, M. Cristina Marchetti +1
This article summarizes some of the open questions in the field of active matter that have emerged during Active20, a nine-week program held at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical…
Scale-dependent irreversibility in living matter
Tzer Han Tan, Garrett A. Watson, Yu-Chen Chao +4
A defining feature of living matter is the ability to harness energy to self-organize multiscale structures whose functions are facilitated by irreversible nonequilibrium dynamics.…
Odd dynamics of living chiral crystals
Tzer Han Tan, Alexander Mietke, Junang Li +6
Active crystals are highly ordered structures that emerge from the self-organization of motile objects, and have been widely studied in synthetic and bacterial active matter. Wheth…
Quantifying dissipation using fluctuating currents
Junang Li, Jordan M. Horowitz, Todd R. Gingrich +1
Systems coupled to multiple thermodynamic reservoirs can exhibit nonequilibrium dynamics, breaking detailed balance to generate currents. To power these currents, the entropy of th…
Self-organization of stress patterns drives state transitions in actin cortices
Tzer Han Tan, Maya Malik Garbi, Enas Abu-Shah +6
Biological functions rely on ordered structures and intricately controlled collective dynamics. In contrast to systems in thermodynamic equilibrium, order is typically established…
Broken Detailed Balance of Filament Dynamics in Active Networks
J. Gladrow, N. Fakhri, F. C. MacKintosh +2
Myosin motor proteins drive vigorous steady-state fluctuations in the actin cytoskeleton of cells. Endogenous embedded semiflexible filaments such as microtubules, or added filamen…
