TL;DR: This review summarizes theoretical progress in the field of active matter, placing it in the context of recent experiments, and highlights the experimental relevance of various semimicroscopic derivations of the continuum theory for describing bacterial swarms and suspensions, the cytoskeleton of living cells, and vibrated granular material.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Mechanics and Statistics of Active Matter
TL;DR: In this paper, a unified view of the many kinds of active matter is presented, encompassing not only living systems but inanimate analogs, including all living organisms and their motile constituents such as molecular motors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrodynamics and phases of flocks
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the theoretical and experimental studies of flocking: the collective, coherent motion of large numbers of self-propelled "particles" (usually, but not always, living organisms).
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrodynamic fluctuations and instabilities in ordered suspensions of self-propelled particles.
R. Aditi Simha,Sriram Ramaswamy +1 more
TL;DR: The hydrodynamic equations for suspensions of self-propelled particles (SPPs) with spontaneous orientational order are constructed, and a number of striking, testable predictions are made.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-lived giant number fluctuations in a swarming granular nematic.
TL;DR: Working with a fluidized monolayer of macroscopic rods in the nematic liquid crystalline phase, giant number fluctuations consistent with a standard deviation growing linearly with the mean are found, in contrast to any situation where the central limit theorem applies.
