Tuning collective actuation of active solids by optimizing activity localization
Davi Lazzari, Olivier Dauchot, Carolina Brito
Active solids, more specifically elastic lattices embedded with polar active units, exhibit collective actuation when the elasto-active feedback, generically present in such system…
Testing theories of the glass transition with the same liquid, but many kinetic rules
Cristina Gavazzoni, Carolina Brito, Matthieu Wyart
We study the glass transition by exploring a broad class of kinetic rules that can significantly modify the normal dynamics of super-cooled liquids, while maintaining thermal equil…
Jamming with tunable roughness
Harukuni Ikeda, Carolina Brito, Matthieu Wyart +1
We introduce a new model to study the effect of surface roughness on the jamming transition. By performing numerical simulations, we show that for a smooth surface, the jamming tra…
Infinitesimal asphericity changes the universality of the jamming transition
Harukuni Ikeda, Carolina Brito, Matthieu Wyart
The jamming transition of non-spherical particles is fundamentally different from the spherical case. Non-spherical particles are hypostatic at their jamming points, while isostati…
Geometric and chemical non-uniformity may induce the stability of more than one wetting state in the same hydrophobic surface
Davi Lazzari, Carolina Brito
It is established that roughness and chemistry play a crucial role in the wetting properties of a substrate. Yet, few studies have analyzed systematically the effect of the non-uni…
Theory for Swap Acceleration near the Glass and Jamming Transitions
Carolina Brito, Edan Lerner, Matthieu Wyart
Swap algorithms can shift the glass transition to lower temperatures, a recent unexplained observation constraining the nature of this phenomenon. Here we show that swap dynamic is…
