Even the most mundane tools may bring forth complex truths in microgravity. On October 20, 2025, a set of small metal ball ...

Due to its inherent out-of-equilibrium nature, active matter in confinement may exhibit collective behavior absent in unconfined systems. Extensive studies have indicated that hydrodynamic or steric ...

Taking advantage of a phenomenon known as emergent behavior, engineers have designed simple microparticles that can collectively generate complex behavior. Working together, the microparticles can ...
