Structure Selection by Non-Conservative 3-Body Acoustic Interactions
Qinghao Mao, Heinrich M. Jaeger
Non-conservative multi-body interactions are typically associated with instabilities and activity in driven, field-mediated systems. Here we show that they can also promote stable…

Constraint ratio controls viscosity in shear thickening suspensions
Qinghao Mao, Michael van der Naald, Abhinendra Singh +1
The dramatic viscosity increase observed in dense suspensions under shear poses a major challenge in our understanding of how microscopic contact mechanics translate into macroscop…

Non-reciprocity and multibody interactions in acoustically levitated particle systems: A three body problem
Brady Wu, Qinghao Mao, Bryan VanSaders +1
In active fluids and active solids the constituents individually generate movement by each extracting energy from their environment or from their own source. Non-reciprocal interac…
