  • How the shape of jammed particle packings influences their mechanical response is unknown except for specific cases. An algorithm that mutates the shapes of packings of bonded identical spheres to optimize the packing’s mechanical performance, and the experimental testing of the optimized shapes through three-dimensional printing, are now reported.

  • By eliminating the effects of gravity with a free-falling camera, high-resolution imaging of charged grains reveals Keplerian orbits and electrostatically stable clusters—with implications for astrophysical and industrial cluster formation.

  • The coupling of particles with physical waves is a generic phenomenon observed in various systems, but its differentiation from quantum effect is still unclear. Perrard et al.address this issue using a bouncing liquid drop confined in a magnetic potential well, where quantized motions are obtained.

  • Spontaneous low-frequency oscillations, which are a feature of biological systems, are challenging to engineer into microrobotic systems. The authors discover a mechanism for asymmetry-induced order and realise electrical and mechanical oscillations in a particle collective to power a microrobotic arm.

  • Artificial cilia composed of surface electrochemical actuators are combined in arrays to create arbitrary flow patterns in liquids, and, when integrated with light-powered CMOS circuits, enable programmable wireless operation at low voltage.
