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 …

Odd dynamics of living chiral crystals

TH Tan, A Mietke, J Li, Y Chen, H Higinbotham… - Nature, 2022‏ - nature.com
Active crystals are highly ordered structures that emerge from the self-organization of motile
objects, and have been widely studied in synthetic, and bacterial, active matter. Whether …

Non-reciprocal phase transitions

M Fruchart, R Hanai, PB Littlewood, V Vitelli - Nature, 2021‏ - nature.com
Out of equilibrium, a lack of reciprocity is the rule rather than the exception. Non-reciprocity
occurs, for instance, in active matter,,,,–, non-equilibrium systems,–, networks of neurons …

Ferrofluids and bio-ferrofluids: Looking back and step** forward

V Socoliuc, MV Avdeev, V Kuncser, R Turcu… - Nanoscale, 2022‏ - pubs.rsc.org
Ferrofluids investigated along for about five decades are ultrastable colloidal suspensions of
magnetic nanoparticles, which manifest simultaneously fluid and magnetic properties. Their …

Active colloids as models, materials, and machines

KJM Bishop, SL Biswal, B Bharti - Annual Review of Chemical …, 2023‏ - annualreviews.org
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 …

Dynamics of active liquid interfaces

R Adkins, I Kolvin, Z You, S Witthaus, MC Marchetti… - Science, 2022‏ - science.org
Controlling interfaces of phase-separating fluid mixtures is key to the creation of diverse
functional soft materials. Traditionally, this is accomplished with surface-modifying chemical …

Total synthesis of colloidal matter

T Hueckel, GM Hocky, S Sacanna - Nature Reviews Materials, 2021‏ - nature.com
Atoms serve as an inspiration for colloidal self-assembly, whereby building blocks can
combine and confer endless functionality using a few design principles, including …

Odd elasticity

C Scheibner, A Souslov, D Banerjee, P Surówka… - Nature Physics, 2020‏ - nature.com
A passive solid cannot do work on its surroundings through any quasistatic cycle of
deformations. This property places strong constraints on the allowed elastic moduli. In this …

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 …
