Odd viscosity and odd elasticity

M Fruchart, C Scheibner, V Vitelli - Annual Review of …, 2023 - annualreviews.org
Elasticity typically refers to a material's ability to store energy, whereas viscosity refers to a
material's tendency to dissipate it. In this review, we discuss fluids and solids for which this is …

Topological active matter

S Shankar, A Souslov, MJ Bowick, MC Marchetti… - Nature Reviews …, 2022 - nature.com
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 …

Time irreversibility in active matter, from micro to macro

J O'Byrne, Y Kafri, J Tailleur, F van Wijland - Nature Reviews Physics, 2022 - nature.com
Active matter encompasses systems whose individual constituents dissipate energy to exert
propelling forces on their environment. These systems exhibit dynamical phenomena with …

Anomalous transport of tracers in active baths

O Granek, Y Kafri, J Tailleur - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
We derive the long-time dynamics of a tracer immersed in a one-dimensional active bath. In
contrast to previous studies, we find that the damping and noise correlations possess long …

Colloquium: Inclusions, boundaries, and disorder in scalar active matter

O Granek, Y Kafri, M Kardar, S Ro, J Tailleur… - Reviews of Modern …, 2024 - APS
Active systems are driven out of equilibrium by exchanging energy and momentum with their
environment. This endows them with anomalous mechanical properties that are reviewed in …

Non-reciprocity across scales in active mixtures

A Dinelli, J O'Byrne, A Curatolo, Y Zhao… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
In active matter, particles typically experience mediated interactions, which are not
constrained by Newton's third law and are therefore generically non-reciprocal. Non …

Hydrodynamics-induced long-range attraction between plates in bacterial suspensions

L Ning, X Lou, Q Ma, Y Yang, N Luo, K Chen, F Meng… - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
We perform optical-tweezers experiments and mesoscale fluid simulations to study the
effective interactions between two parallel plates immersed in bacterial suspensions. The …

Topologically protected transport of cargo in a chiral active fluid aided by odd-viscosity-enhanced depletion interactions

Q Yang, H Zhu, P Liu, R Liu, Q Shi, K Chen, N Zheng… - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
The discovery of topological edge states that unidirectionally propagate along the boundary
of system without backscattering has enabled the development of new design principles for …

Collective forces in scalar active matter

T Speck - Soft Matter, 2020 - pubs.rsc.org
Large-scale collective behavior in suspensions of active particles can be understood from
the balance of statistical forces emerging beyond the direct microscopic particle interactions …

Dynamic clustering of passive colloids in dense suspensions of motile bacteria

S Gokhale, J Li, A Solon, J Gore, N Fakhri - Physical Review E, 2022 - APS
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 …
