Biological molecular motors (or biomolecular motors for short) are nature's solution to the
efficient conversion of chemical energy to mechanical movement. In biological systems …

Biological systems have evolved to harness non-equilibrium processes from the molecular
to the macro scale. It is currently a grand challenge of chemistry, materials science, and …

In nature, swarming behavior has evolved repeatedly among motile organisms because it
confers a variety of beneficial emergent properties. These include improved information …

Machine learning is enabling researchers to analyze and understand increasingly complex
physical and biological phenomena in traditional fields such as biology, medicine, and …

Axons are the slender, cable-like, up to meter-long projections of neurons that electrically
wire our brains and bodies. In spite of their challenging morphology, they usually need to be …

Over the last 25 years, extensive progress has been made in developing a range of
nanotechnological applications where cytoskeletal filaments and molecular motors are key …

Axons are processes of neurons, up to a metre long, that form the essential biological cables
wiring nervous systems. They must survive, often far away from their cell bodies and up to a …

Understanding the behaviors of a single active chain in complex environments is not only an
interesting topic in non-equilibrium physics but also has applicative implications in …

Conspectus Biomolecular motors, such as the motor protein kinesin, can be used as off-the-
shelf components to power hybrid nanosystems. These hybrid systems combine elements …

The motion of active polymers in a two-dimensional porous medium is shown to depend
critically on flexibility, activity, and degree of polymerization. For a given Péclet number, we …
