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…
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…
Packing polydisperse colloids into crystals: when charge-dispersity matters
Guillaume Bareigts, Pree-Cha Kiatkiakajorn, Joaquim Li +5
Monte-Carlo simulations and small-angle x-ray scattering experiments were used to determine the phase diagram of aqueous dispersions of titratable nano-colloids with a moderate siz…
Drying and percolation in spatially correlated porous media
Soumyajyoti Biswas, Paolo Fantinel, Oshri Borgman +2
We study how the dynamics of a drying front propagating through a porous medium are affected by small-scale correlations in material properties. For this, we first present drying e…
