Flexible confinement leads to multiple relaxation regimes in glassy colloidal liquids
Ian Williams, Erdal C. Oğuz, Paul Bartlettl +2
Understanding relaxation of supercooled fluids is a major challenge and confining such systems can lead to bewildering behaviour. Here we exploit an optically confined colloidal mo…
Putting a spin on metamaterials: Mechanical incompatibility as magnetic frustration
Ben Pisanty, Erdal C. Oguz, Cristiano Nisoli +1
Mechanical metamaterials present a promising platform for seemingly impossible mechanics. They often require incompatibility of their elementary building blocks, yet a comprehensiv…
Topology Restricts Quasidegeneracy in Sheared Square Colloidal Ice
Erdal C. Oğuz, Antonio Ortiz-Ambriz, Hadas Shem-Tov +3
Recovery of ground-state degeneracy in two-dimensional square ice is a significant challenge in the field of geometric frustration with far-reaching fundamental implications, such…
Response evolution of mechanical metamaterials under architectural transformations
Anne S. Meeussen, Erdal C. Oguz, Martin van Hecke +1
Architectural transformations play a key role in the evolution of complex systems, from design algorithms for metamaterials to flow and plasticity of disordered media. Here, we dev…
Topological defects produce exotic mechanics in complex metamaterials
Anne S. Meeussen, Erdal C. Oguz, Yair Shokef +1
Defects, and in particular topological defects, are architectural motifs that play a crucial role in natural materials. Here we provide a systematic strategy to introduce such defe…
Transmission of torque at the nanoscale
Ian Williams, Erdal C. Oğuz, Thomas Speck +3
In macroscopic mechanical devices torque is transmitted through gearwheels and clutches. In the construction of devices at the nanoscale, torque and its transmission through soft m…
