Topological defects in solids with odd elasticity
Lara Braverman, Colin Scheibner, Bryan VanSaders +1
Crystallography typically studies collections of point particles whose interaction forces are the gradient of a potential. Lifting this assumption generically gives rise in the con…
Stokes flows in three-dimensional fluids with odd and parity-violating viscosities
Tali Khain, Colin Scheibner, Michel Fruchart +1
The Stokes equation describes the motion of fluids when inertial forces are negligible compared to viscous forces. In this article, we explore the consequence of parity-violating a…
Realization of active metamaterials with odd micropolar elasticity
Yangyang Chen, Xiaopeng Li, Colin Scheibner +2
Materials made from active, living, or robotic components can display emergent properties arising from local sensing and computation. Here, we realize a freestanding active metabea…
Statistical mechanics of a chiral active fluid
Ming Han, Michel Fruchart, Colin Scheibner +4
Statistical mechanics provides the foundation for describing complex materials using only a few thermodynamic variables. No such framework currently exists far from equilibrium. In…
Non-Hermitian band topology and skin modes in active elastic media
Colin Scheibner, William T. M. Irvine, Vincenzo Vitelli
Solids built out of active components can exhibit non-reciprocal elastic coefficients that give rise to non-Hermitian wave phenomena. Here, we investigate non-Hermitian effects pre…
