Resonances in Overdamped Odd Materials
Julius Kiln, Alexander Mietke
Odd viscoelasticity arises in parity-violating nonequilibrium materials, where it leads to unconventional mechanical responses and oscillatory relaxation even in overdamped systems…
Active Fluid Patterning in Inhomogeneous Environments
Douglas MacMyn Brown, Alexander Mietke
Active stresses in biological cells and tissues drive many developmental processes. However, increasing experimental evidence suggests that additional mechanical interactions with…
Confinement-Induced Symmetry Breaking of Active Surfaces
Da Gao, Alexander Mietke, Rui Ma
The actomyosin cortex, a thin layer of a cross-linked polymer network near the cell surface, generates active forces that are responsible for cell shape changes. Many developmental…
Self-organized dynamics and emergent shape spaces of active isotropic fluid surfaces
Da Gao, Huayang Sun, Rui Ma +1
Theories of self-organized active fluid surfaces have emerged as an important class of minimal models for the shape dynamics of biological membranes, cells and tissues. However, du…
Odd electrical circuits
Harry Walden, Alexander Stegmaier, Jörn Dunkel +1
Non-reciprocal interactions in elastic media give rise to rich non-equilibrium behaviors, but controllable experimental realizations of such odd elastic phenomena remain scarce. Bu…
