What do bird flocks, bacterial swarms, cell tissues, and
cytoskeletal fluids have in common? They are all examples of active
matter. This book explores how scientists in various disciplines,
from physics to biology, have collated a solid corpus of
experimental designs and theories during the last two decades to
decipher active systems. The book addresses, from a
multidisciplinary viewpoint, the field of active matter at a
colloidal scale. Concepts, experiments, and theoretical models are
put side by side to fully illuminate the subtilities of active
systems. A large variety of subjects, from microswimmers or driven
colloids to self-organized active fluids, are analysed within a
unified perspective. Generic collective effects of self-propelled
or driven colloids, such as motility-induced flocking, and new
paradigms, such as the celebrated concept of active nematics in
reconstituted protein-based fluids, are discussed using well-known
experimental scenarios and recognized theories. Topics are covered
with rigor and in a self-consistent way, reaching both
practitioners and newcomers to the field. The diversity of topics
and conceptual challenges in active matter have long hampered the
chance to explore the field with a general perspective. This
monograph, the first single-authored title on active matter, is
intended to fill this gap by bridging disparate experimental and
theoretical interests from colloidal soft matter to cell
biophysics.
