Book DescriptionThe first book on active matter, an emerging field focused on programming physical materials toassemble themselves, transform autonomously, and react to information. The past few decadesbrought a revolution in computer software and hardware; today we are on the cusp of a materialsrevolution. If yesterday we programmed computers and other machines, today we program matteritself. This has created new capabilities in design, computing, and fabrication, which allow us toprogram proteins and bacteria, to generate self-transforming wood products and architecturaldetails, and to create clothing from “intelligent textiles” that grow themselves. This book offersessays and sample projects from the front lines of the emerging field of active matter. Activematter and programmable materials are at the intersection of science, art, design, and engineering,with applications in fields from biology and computer science to architecture and fashion. Theseessays contextualize current work and explore recent research. Sample projects, generouslyillustrated in color, show the range of possibilities envisioned by their makers. Contributorsexplore the design of active material at scales from nano to micro, kilo, and even planetary. Theyinvestigate processes of self-assembly at a microscopic level; test new materials that can senseand actuate themselves; and examine the potential of active matter in the built environment and inliving and artificial systems. Active Matter is an essential guide to a field that could shape thefuture of design.
