Active fluids exhibit spontaneous flows with complex spatiotemporal structure, which have
been observed in bacterial suspensions, sperm cells, cytoskeletal suspensions, self …

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 …

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 …

The availability of large datasets has boosted the application of machine learning in many
fields and is now starting to shape active-matter research as well. Machine learning …

Animal morphogenesis arises from the complex interplay between multiple mechanical and
biochemical processes with mutual feedback. Developing an effective, coarse-grained …

Activity and autonomous motion are fundamental in living and engineering systems. This
has stimulated the new field of'active matter'in recent years, which focuses on the physical …

A wide range of experimental systems including gliding, swarming and swimming bacteria,
in vitro motility assays, and shaken granular media are commonly described as self …

Fluid dynamics plays a crucial role in many cellular processes, including the locomotion of
cells such as bacteria and spermatozoa. These organisms possess flagella, slender …

Actomyosin machinery endows cells with contractility at a single-cell level. However, within a
monolayer, cells can be contractile or extensile based on the direction of pushing or pulling …

Active materials are capable of converting free energy into mechanical work to produce
autonomous motion, and exhibit striking collective dynamics that biology relies on for …
