SLO/GO Degradation-Loss Sensitivity in Climate-Human System Coupling

Sierra Cabrera, Irina Babayan, Hazhir Aliahmadi +2

The potential of extreme environmental change driven by a destabilized climate system is an alarming prospect for humanity. But the intricate, subtle ways Earth's climate couples t…

No Free Lunch for Avoiding Clustering Vulnerabilities in Distributed Systems

Pheerawich Chitnelawong, Andrei A. Klishin, Norman MacKay +2

Emergent design failures are ubiquitous in complex systems, and often arise when system elements cluster. Approaches to systematically reduce clustering could improve a design's re…

Shape and Interaction Decoupling for Colloidal Pre-Assembly

Lucia Baldauf, Erin G. Teich, Peter Schall +2

Creating materials with structure that is independently controllable at a range of scales requires breaking naturally occurring hierarchies. Breaking these hierarchies can be achie…

Topological Order in Densely Packed Anisotropic Colloids

William Zygmunt, Erin G. Teich, Greg van Anders +1

The existence of topological order is frequently associated with strongly coupled quantum matter. Here, we demonstrate the existence of topological phases in classical systems of d…

Robust Design from Systems Physics

Andrei A. Klishin, Alec Kirkley, David J. Singer +1

A crucial challenge in engineering modern, integrated systems is to produce robust designs. Ensuring robust design is difficult because subsystem couplings produce unpredictable re…

Relevance of Packing to Colloidal Self-Assembly

Rose Cersonsky, Greg van Anders, Paul M. Dodd +1

Since the 1920s, packing arguments have been used to rationalize crystal structures in systems ranging from atomic mixtures to colloidal crystals. Packing arguments have recently b…

Engineering Entropy for the Inverse Design of Colloidal Crystals from Hard Shapes

Yina Geng, Greg van Anders, Paul M. Dodd +2

Throughout the physical sciences, entropy stands out as a pivotal but enigmatic concept that, in materials design, often takes a backseat to energy. Here, we demonstrate how to pre…

Statistical Physics of Design

Andrei A. Klishin, Colin P. F. Shields, David J. Singer +1

A key challenge in complex design problems that permeate science and engineering is the need to balance design objectives for specific design elements or subsystems with global sys…

Shape Driven Solid--Solid Transitions in Colloids

Chrisy Xiyu Du, Greg van Anders, Richmond S. Newman +1

Despite the fundamental importance of solid--solid transitions for metallurgy, ceramics, earth science, reconfigurable materials, and colloidal matter, the details of how materials…

Digital Alchemy for Materials Design: Colloids and Beyond

Greg van Anders, Daphne Klotsa, Andrew S. Karas +2

Starting with the early alchemists, a holy grail of science has been to make desired materials by modifying the attributes of basic building blocks. Building blocks that show promi…

Shape Allophiles Improve Entropic Assembly

Eric S. Harper, Ryan L. Marson, Joshua A. Anderson +2

We investigate a class of "shape allophiles" that fit together like puzzle pieces as a method to access and stabilize desired structures by controlling directional entropic forces.…

Crossover Behavior in the Packing and Assembly of Multivalent Lock-and-Key Colloids

N. Khalid Ahmed, Greg van Anders, Elizabeth R. Chen +1

Emergent behaviors occur in a vast array of systems across many scales, and are of fundamental physical importance because of the intrinsic difficulty in linking microscopic system…

Understanding shape entropy through local dense packing

Greg van Anders, Daphne Klotsa, N. Khalid Ahmed +2

Entropy drives the phase behavior of colloids ranging from dense suspensions of hard spheres or rods to dilute suspensions of hard spheres and depletants. Entropic ordering of anis…

Entropically Patchy Particles: Engineering Valence through Shape Entropy

Greg van Anders, N. Khalid Ahmed, Ross Smith +2

Patchy particles are a popular paradigm for the design and synthesis of nanoparticles and colloids for self-assembly. In "traditional" patchy particles, anisotropic interactions ar…
