The first direct detection of gravitational waves in 2015 marked the beginning of a new era in astronomy, opening an unprecedented window into the universe. Over the past decade, observations by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration have transformed our understanding of compact objects, revealing diverse populations of merging black holes and neutron ...

Collections of self-propelled, or active, interacting particles self-organize, flow, or jam in ways that differ from their equilibrium counterparts in very interesting ways, making their study an exciting new direction in nonequilibrium statistical physics. Several natural examples of self-driven interacting particles arise in cellular and subcellular biological assemblies, where one ...
