  • Self-assembling ‘crystals’ of starfish embryos exhibit a curious behaviour termed odd elasticity, which seemingly violates Newton’s laws of classical mechanics. This discovery poses questions for physicists and biologists alike.

  • Active, non-conservative interactions can give rise to elastic moduli that are forbidden in equilibrium and enter the antisymmetric part of the stiffness tensor. The resulting solids function as distributed elastic engines that can perform work on their surroundings through quasistatic strain cycles.

  • An active solid composed of confined robots is reported. Through elastic interactions, the robots sync up to create novel states of coherent motion.

  • Active chiral fluids are a special case of active matter in which energy is introduced into rotational motion via local application of torque. Here Banerjee et al. develop a hydrodynamic theory of such active fluids and connect it with odd viscosity which was previously considered an abstract concept.

  • The development of active solids based on centimetre-scale building blocks incorporating odd elasticity shows that they can spontaneously undergo limit cycles of shape changes, leading to adaptive locomotion such as rolling and crawling.

  • How do fluctuations alter the dynamics of phase transitions in crystal near a mechanical instability? To answer this question, here Mao et al. present a square lattice-based analytic model showing that large entropic effects can take place at nonzero temperature near the transition.

  • Understanding and controlling self-assembly processes at multiple length scales is essential to design and create advanced materials. Here the authors report a method for the production of highly anisotropic nanoparticles with controlled dimensions based on the morphological transformation of initially isotropic seeds, driven by supramolecular bonding.

  • Water droplets skid across hot surfaces, hovering imperceptibly as they undergo rapid vaporization. Elastic solids are now shown to exhibit a variant of this behaviour, engaging in sustained bouncing by coupling vapour release to elastic deformation.

  • Ensuring topological protection of the edge states in candidate topological insulators is complicated by the need to break time-reversal symmetry. Polar active liquids present an innovative solution to this problem, as a new metamaterial design shows.

  • Active matter encompasses various non-equilibrium systems in which individual constituents convert energy into non-conservative forces or motion at the microscale. This Review provides an elementary introduction to the role of topology in active matter through experimentally relevant examples.
