The problem of engines in statistical physics
Robert Alicki, David Gelbwaser-Klimovsky, Alejandro Jenkins
Engines are open systems that can generate work cyclically, at the expense of an external disequilibrium. They are ubiquitous in nature and technology, but the course of mathematic…
Sculpting liquids with ultrathin shells
Yousra Timounay, Alexander R. Hartwell, Mengfei He +4
Thin elastic films can spontaneously attach to liquid interfaces, offering a platform for tailoring their physical, chemical, and optical properties. Current understanding of the e…
Shear dynamics of confined membranes
Thomas Le Goff, Tung B. T. To, Olivier Pierre-Louis
We model the nonlinear response of a lubricated contact composed of a two-dimensional lipid membrane immersed in a simple fluid between two parallel flat and porous walls under she…
Understanding and controlling hexagonal patterns of wrinkles in neo-Hookean elastic bilayer structures
Teng Zhang
A controlled surface wrinkling pattern has been widely used in diverse applications, such as stretchable electronics, smart windows, and haptics. Here, we focus on hexagonal wrinkl…
Mesoscale structure of wrinkle patterns and defect-proliferated liquid crystalline phases
Oleh Tovkach, Junbo Chen, Monica M. Ripp +3
Thin solids often develop elastic instabilities and subsequently complex, multiscale deformation patterns. Revealing the organizing principles of this spatial complexity has ramifi…
Bacterial range expansions on a growing front: Roughness, Fixation, and Directed Percolation
Jordan M. Horowitz, Mehran Kardar
Directed Percolation (DP) is a classic model for nonequilibrium phase transitions into a single absorbing state (fixation). It has been extensively studied by analytical and numeri…
