In active matter systems, individual constituents convert energy into non-conservative forces
or motion at the microscale, leading to morphological features and transport properties that …

Mechanical stimulation utilizing deep tissue-penetrating and focusable energy sources,
such as ultrasound and magnetic fields, is regarded as an emerging patient-friendly and …

Enzyme-powered nanomotors are an exciting technology for biomedical applications due to
their ability to navigate within biological environments using endogenous fuels. However …

Active matter extracts energy from its surroundings at the single particle level and transforms
it into mechanical work. Examples include cytoskeleton biopolymers and bacterial …

Learning is traditionally studied in biological or computational systems. The power of
learning frameworks in solving hard inverse problems provides an appealing case for the …

The fascinating patterns of collective motion created by autonomously driven particles have

Biological cells generate intricate structures by sculpting their membrane from within to
actively sense and respond to external stimuli or to explore their environment,,–. Several …

Various types of structures self-organised by animals exist in nature, such as bird flocks and
insect swarms, which stem from the local communications of vast numbers of limited …

Soft structures in nature, such as protein assemblies, can organize reversibly into functional
and often hierarchical architectures through noncovalent interactions. Molecularly encoding …

Microorganisms can move in complex media, respond to the environment and self-organize.
The field of microrobotics strives to achieve these functions in mobile robotic systems of sub …
