Swarms, which stem from collective behaviors among individual elements, are commonly
seen in nature. Since two decades ago, scientists have been attempting to understand the …

Active colloids use energy input at the particle level to propel persistent motion and direct
dynamic assemblies. We consider three types of colloids animated by chemical reactions …

Taxis orientation is common in microorganisms, and it provides feasible strategies to
operate active colloids as small‐scale robots. Collective taxes involve numerous units that …

Bacteria are among the oldest and most abundant species on Earth. Bacteria successfully
colonize diverse habitats and play a significant role in the oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen …

We study the emergent behaviors of a population of swarming coupled oscillators, dubbed
swarmalators. Previous work considered the simplest, idealized case: identical …

We review the literature on swimming in complex fluids. A classification is proposed by
comparing the length-and timescales of a swimmer with those of nearby obstacles …

Swarm behaviors are common in nature, where individual organisms collaborate via
perception, communication, and adaptation. Emulating these dynamics, large groups of …

Many astonishing biological collective behaviors exist in nature, and artificial microrobotic
swarms have been developed by emulating these scenarios. However, these microswarms …

At the microscale, coupled physical interactions between collectives of agents can be
exploited to enable self-organization. Past systems typically consist of identical agents; …

Plasmodium sporozoites are the crescent-shaped forms of malaria parasites injected from
the salivary glands of mosquitoes into the skins of their vertebrate hosts. To proceed towards …
