Soft matter physics of the ground beneath our feet

Anne Voigtländer, Morgane Houssais, Karol A. Bacik +24

Inspired by presentations by the authors during a workshop organized at the Princeton Center for Theoretical Science (PCTS) in January 2022, we present a perspective on some of the…

Active Spaghetti: Collective Organization in Cyanobacteria

Mixon K. Faluweki, Jan Cammann, Marco G. Mazza +1

Filamentous cyanobacteria can show fascinating examples of nonequilibrium self-organization, which however are not well-understood from a physical perspective. We investigate the m…

Structural mechanics of filamentous cyanobacteria

Mixon K. Faluweki, Lucas Goehring

Filamentous cyanobacteria, forming long strands of connected cells, are one of the earliest and most successful forms of life on Earth. They exhibit self-organised behaviour, formi…

Measuring and upscaling micromechanical interactions in a cohesive granular material

Arnaud Hemmerle, Yuta Yamaguchi, Marcin Makowski +2

The mechanical properties of a disordered heterogeneous medium depend, in general, on a complex interplay between multiple length scales. Connecting local interactions to macroscop…

Failure processes of cemented granular materials

Yuta Yamaguchi, Soumyajyoti Biswas, Takahiro Hatano +1

The mechanics of cohesive or cemented granular materials is complex, combining the heterogeneous responses of granular media, like force chains, with clearly defined material prope…

Stability of convection in dry salt lakes

Jana Lasser, Marcel Ernst, Lucas Goehring

Dry lakes covered with a salt crust organised into beautifully patterned networks of narrow ridges are common in arid regions. Here, we consider the initial instability and the ult…
