The past few decades brought a revolution in computer software and hardware; today we are on the cusp of a materials revolution. Sample projects, generously illustrated in color, show the range of possibilities envisioned by their makers. Active Matter is an essential guide to a field that could shape the future of design.. They investigate processes of self-assembly at a microscopic level; test new materials that can sense and actuate themselves; and examine the potential of active matter in the built environment and in living and artificial systems.
