Odd pathways speed up self-assembly
Dawid Dopierała, Luca Cocconi, Robert L. Jack +1
Active self-assembly can bypass equilibrium bottlenecks through external energy injection. However, generic driving typically distorts target structures and requires sustained ener…

Cyclically sheared colloidal gels: structural change and delayed failure time
Himangsu Bhaumik, James E. Hallett, Tanniemola B. Liverpool +2
We present experiments and simulations on cyclically sheared colloidal gels, and probe their behaviour on several different length scales. The shearing induces structural changes i…
