Broken action-reaction symmetry has been recently explored in active matter in the context of nonequilibrium phoretic interactions between catalytically active colloids and enzymes [1], and shown to lead formation of self-propelled active molecules that break time-reversal symmetry [2], oscillating active complexes that break time-translation symmetry [3], chiral bound-states [4], and active phase separation with specified stoichiometry [5, 6]. Non-reciprocal interactions have been found to lead to rich physical phenomena involving various forms of spontaneous symmetry-breaking in other related nonequilibrium contexts [7, 8]. Recent applications of non-reciprocal active matter have revealed exotic behaviour such as the appearance of effervescent travelling patterns [9] and shape-shifting multifarious self-organization [10], spontaneous escape of kinetic barriers [11], dynamical pattern formation in quorum-sensing active matter [12], as well as implications of the physics of non-reciprocal interactions on the origin of life [13,14,15].
