Bioinspired out-of-equilibrium systems will set the scene for the next generation of molecular
materials with active, adaptive, autonomous, emergent and intelligent behavior. Indeed life …

Droplets abound in nature and technology. In general, they are multicomponent, and, when
out of equilibrium, have gradients in concentration, implying flow and mass transport …

How accurate is the picture of the human mind that has emerged from studies in
neuroscience, psychology, and cognitive science? Anybody with an interest in how minds …

Chemotactic interactions are ubiquitous in nature and can lead to non-reciprocal and
complex emergent behaviour in multibody systems. However, develo** synthetic …

Although dynamic self-assembly, DySA, is a relatively new area of research, the past
decade has brought numerous demonstrations of how various types of components–on …

Abstract Systems that are intelligent have the ability to sense their surroundings, analyze,
and respond accordingly. In nature, many biological systems are considered intelligent (eg …

Chemotaxis and autochemotaxis play an important role in many essential biological
processes. We present a self-propelling artificial swimmer system that exhibits chemotaxis …

The field of micro total analysis systems (μTAS)(1) or lab on a chip (LOC) has extended its
usefulness into many new fields and disciplines spanning basic research to commercial …

Taxis is an instinctive behavior of living organisms to external dangers or benefits. Here, we
report a taxis-like behavior associated with liquid droplets on charged substrates in …

A Physarum machine is a programmable amorphous biological computer experimentally
implemented in the vegetative state of true slime mould Physarum polycephalum. It …
