SUMMARY:More is Less in Unpercolated Active Solids - Anton  Souslov (Unive

DESCRIPTION: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\, mac
 roscale active response can vanish: more is less. Our results unveil a cou
 nterintuitive facet of active matter\, offering new principles for enginee
 ring materials far from equilibrium.&nbsp\;
