When proofreading improves both speed and accuracy
Arup Biswas, L. Mahadevan
Proofreading is generally thought to improve accuracy at the expense of speed. We show that this trade-off can be reversed in stochastic processes with long-lived stalled states. U…

Self-organized adaptive branching in frangible matter
P. L. B. Fischer, J. Tauber, T. Koch +1
Soft and frangible materials that remodel under flow can give rise to branched patterns shaped by material properties, boundary conditions, and the time scales of forcing. We prese…

Exploitation-exploration transition in the physics of fluid-driven branching
J. Tauber, J. Asnacios, L. Mahadevan
Self-organized branching structures can emerge spontaneously as interfacial instabilities in both simple and complex fluids, driven by the interplay between bulk material rheology,…
