TGM150 - 9th Edwards Symposium – Frontiers in Statistical Physics and Soft Matter

Active solids consume energy to allow for actuation and shape change not possible in equilibrium. We discover a striking anomaly in the continuum description of non-reciprocal active solids, a ubiquitous class of active materials. We find that as microscopic activity increases, macroscale active response can vanish: more is less. Our results unveil a counterintuitive facet of active matter, offering new principles for engineering materials far from equilibrium.
