Dicovering the emergent nonlinear dynamics of acoustically levitated cube clusters

Annie Z. Xia, Melody X. Lim, Jason Z. Kim +2

The complex behavior of many natural and engineered systems emerges from the interaction of a small number of effective degrees of freedom. Discovering the physical basis of the in…

Non-reciprocity and multibody interactions in acoustically levitated particle systems: A three body problem

Brady Wu, Qinghao Mao, Bryan VanSaders +1

In active fluids and active solids the constituents individually generate movement by each extracting energy from their environment or from their own source. Non-reciprocal interac…

Tunable mechanical properties and air-based lubrication in an acoustically levitated granular material

Nina M. Brown, Bryan VanSaders, Jason M. Kronenfeld +2

Cohesive granular materials are found in many natural and industrial environments, but experimental platforms for exploring the innate mechanical properties of these materials are…

Direct measurement of forces in air-based acoustic levitation systems

Nina M. Brown, Bryan VanSaders, Jason M. Kronenfeld +2

Acoustic levitation is frequently used for non-contact manipulation of objects and to study the impact of microgravity on physical and biological processes. While the force field p…

Mechanical properties of acoustically levitated granular rafts

Melody X. Lim, Bryan VanSaders, Anton Souslov +1

We investigate a model system for the rotational dynamics of inertial many-particle clustering, in which sub-millimeter objects are acoustically levitated in air. Driven by scatter…

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…

Strain Fields in Repulsive Colloidal Crystals

Bryan VanSaders, Julia Dshemuchadse, Sharon C. Glotzer

The concept of a local linear elastic strain field is commonly used in the metallurgical research community to approximate the collective effect of atomic displacements around crys…
