Network physics of attractive colloidal gels: Resilience, Rigidity, and Phase Diagram
Mohammad Nabizadeh, Farzaneh Nasirian, Xinzhi Li +6
Attractive colloidal gels exhibit solid-like behavior at vanishingly small fractions of solids, owing to ramified space-spanning networks that form due to particle-particle interac…

Mechanical heterogeneity in tissues promotes rigidity and controls cellular invasion
Xinzhi Li, Amit Das, Dapeng Bi
We study the influence of cell-level mechanical heterogeneity in epithelial tissues using a vertex-based model. Heterogeneity in single cell stiffness is introduced as a quenched r…

A biological tissue-inspired tunable photonic fluid
Xinzhi Li, Amit Das, Dapeng Bi
Inspired by how cells pack in dense biological tissues, we design 2D and 3D amorphous materials which possess a complete photonic band gap. A physical parameter based on how cells…
