Happy to share the viewpoint article on recent work by @jackbinysh @ASouslov @CorentinCoulaisthe about interplay between percolation and oddity in robotic metamaterials!
Active materials could be used to make devices that spontaneously crawl over a difficult terrain—provided system-spanning networks are formed among the individual constituents of the system. Without the networks, the macroscopic response disappears. go.aps.org/41v2M5I

Thanks @UniofBath ! I had a great time talking about my work on shape-shifting materials science.org/doi/10.1126/scia… and elastic Leidenfrost physics arxiv.org/abs/2207.02769 with @ASouslov, and new stuff with @CorentinCoulais at @UvA_Amsterdam
Congratulations Dr Jack Binysh for winning the 2023 Peter Troughton Research Staff Prize! Jack’s winning research focuses on ‘animate matter’; how science can recreate the responsive properties of living matter in synthetic materials. @svhains @UniofBathStaff @UniofBathSci

The October issue is live! This month we consider citation equity in the physics literature, probe an excitonic insulator state in 2D materials, and put limits on theories of dark energy. ift.tt/yiaMR3d #physics #citationequity #citations #d… instagr.am/p/Cjh6HHNj-KP/

Thanks @NewtonGateway! Had a great time at the Edwards Symposium. The poster is based on this preprint, arxiv.org/abs/2207.02769, doing Leidenfrost physics with soft elastic objects! Joint work with @swaitukaitis, @ASouslov and James Sprittles @MicroNanoFlows.
We would like to congratulate @jackbinysh who won the Alexei Likhtman Poster Prize at this year's 6th Edwards Symposium – Soft Matter for the 21st Century event, 7th - 9th September. With their poster titled: "Thermodynamic Lubrication in the Elastic Leidenfrost Effect."

Starfish embryos self-assemble into ‘crystals’ exhibiting a curious behaviour that seems to violate Isaac Newton’s laws of classical mechanics. Learn more in this fantastic N&V by @jackbinysh & @ASouslov go.nature.com/3z5ekPH

A wheel that rolls uphill. A ball that only bounces to one side. A wall that controls where it absorbs energy. With one equation, the physicists Corentin Coulais and Vincenzo Vitelli have developed a host of unorthodox objects from new “odd matter.” quantamagazine.org/wheel-mad…

The physicists Corentin Coulais and Vincenzo Vitelli have constructed “odd matter” in which component parts interact nonreciprocally. The resulting behaviors could lead to biophysical insights, stronger robots and novel materials. @benbenbrubaker reports: quantamagazine.org/wheel-mad…
