Unravelling the multiscale surface mechanics of soft solids
Nicolas Bain, Lawrence A. Wilen, Dominic Gerber +7
Soft solids and their surface deformations control the response of many natural and artificial systems. Yet, their underlying properties are vigorously debated, particularly for po…
Learning by training: emergent return-point memory from cyclically tuning disordered sphere packings
Mengjie Zu, Carl P. Goodrich
Many living and artificial systems improve their fitness or performance by adapting to changing environments or diverse training data. However, it remains unclear how such environm…
Intelligent Soft Matter: Towards Embodied Intelligence
Vladimir A. Baulin, Achille Giacometti, Dmitry Fedosov +24
Intelligent soft matter stands at the intersection of materials science, physics, and cognitive science, promising to change how we design and interact with materials. This transfo…
Fully independent response in disordered solids
Mengjie Zu, Aayush Desai, Carl P. Goodrich
Unlike in crystals, it is difficult to trace emergent material properties of amorphous solids to their underlying structure. Nevertheless, one can tune features of a disordered spr…
