Topology-defined computation in knitted textiles
Daisuke S. Shimamoto
Mechanical computation, in which logic functions are realized through deformation rather than electronics, has been demonstrated in systems such as origami, kirigami, and mechanica…

Power-law molecular-weight distributions dictate universal behaviors in highly polydisperse polymer solutions
Naoya Yanagisawa, Daisuke S. Shimamoto, Miho Yanagisawa
Polydispersity is a universal feature of synthetic polymers and biological molecules in the cytoplasm. However, its quantitative impact on collective behavior remains poorly unders…

Topological Defect Propagation to Classify Knitted Fabrics
Daisuke S. Shimamoto, Keiko Shimamoto, Sonia Mahmoudi +1
Knits and crochets are mechanical metamaterials with a long history and can typically be produced from a single yarn. Despite the simplicity of the manufacturing process, they exhi…
