This book aims to introduce and redefine conceptions of matter by considering materials as entities that 'sense' and respond to their environment. By examining the modeling of, the experiments on, and the construction of these materials, and by developing a theory of their structure, their collective activity, and their functionality, this volume identifies and develops a novel scientific approach to active materials. Moreover, essays on the history and philosophy of metallurgy, chemistry, biology, and materials science provide these various approaches to active materials with a historical and cultural context. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe interviews with experts from the natural sciences included in this volume develop new understandings of 'active matter' and active materials in relation to a range of research objects and from the perspective of different scientific disciplines, including biology, physics, chemistry, and materials science. These insights are complemented by contributions on the activity of matter and materials from the humanities and the design field. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses the mechanisms of active materials and their various conceptualizations in materials science. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRedefines conceptions of active materials through interviews with experts from the natural sciences. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eContextualizes, historizes, and reflects on different notions of matter\/materials and activity through contributions from the humanities. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA highly interdisciplinary approach to a cutting-edge research topic, with contributions from both the sciences and the humanities. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeter Fratzl\u003c\/strong\u003e, MPI of Colloids and Interfaces, Germany; \u003cstrong\u003eMichael Friedman\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eKarin Krauthausen\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eWolfgang Schäffner\u003c\/strong\u003e, Humboldt U, Germany. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 378\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 9.4 x 6.7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 14, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47381568159993,"sku":"9783110561814","price":111.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/cfLE1hvq9G9783110561814.webp?v=1770087218","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/active-materials-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
