Bacteria have developed a large array of motility mechanisms to exploit available resources
and environments. These mechanisms can be broadly classified into swimming in aqueous …

A review is given on the foundations and applications of non-Hermitian classical and
quantum physics. First, key theorems and central concepts in non-Hermitian linear algebra …

Swarm robotics deals with the design, construction, and deployment of large groups of
robots that coordinate and cooperatively solve a problem or perform a task. It takes …

Mobile microrobots, which can navigate, sense, and interact with their environment, could
potentially revolutionize biomedicine and environmental remediation. Many self-organizing …

Precise control over molecular movement is of fundamental and practical importance in
physics, biology, and chemistry. At nanoscale, the peculiar functioning principles and the …

A novel theoretical framework for an embodied, non-representational approach to language
that extends and deepens enactive theory, bridging the gap between sensorimotor skills and …

Untethered micro/nanorobots have been widely investigated owing to their potential in
performing various tasks in different environments. The significant progress in this emerging …

We address a fundamental issue of collective motion of aerial robots: how to ensure that
large flocks of autonomous drones seamlessly navigate in confined spaces. The numerous …

Active matter, which ranges from molecular motors to groups of animals, exists at different
length scales and timescales, and various computational models have been proposed to …

A celebrated and controversial hypothesis suggests that some biological systems—parts,
aspects, or groups of them—may extract important functional benefits from operating at the …
