State-and-rate friction in contact-line dynamics
Chloe W. Lindeman, Sidney R. Nagel
In order to probe the dynamics of contact-line motion, we study the macroscopic properties of sessile drops deposited on and then aspirated from carefully prepared horizontal surfa…
Learning to learn: Non-equilibrium design protocols for adaptable materials
Martin J. Falk, Jiayi Wu, Ayanna Matthews +5
Evolution in time-varying environments naturally leads to adaptable biological systems that can easily switch functionalities. Advances in the synthesis of environmentally-responsi…
Competition between energy and dynamics in memory formation
Varda F. Hagh, Chloe W. Lindeman, Chi Ian Ip +1
Bi-stable objects that are pushed between states by an external field are often used as a simple model to study memory formation in disordered materials. Such systems, called hyste…
Learning to self-fold at a bifurcation
Chukwunonso Arinze, Menachem Stern, Sidney R. Nagel +1
Disordered mechanical systems can deform along a network of pathways that branch and recombine at special configurations called bifurcation points. Multiple pathways are accessible…
Rifts in Rafts
Khá-Î Tô, Sidney R. Nagel
A particle raft floating on an expanding liquid substrate provides a macroscopic analog for studying material failure. The time scales in this system allow both particle-relaxation…
Free-then-freeze: transient learning degrees of freedom for introducing function in materials
Varda F. Hagh, Sidney R. Nagel, Andrea J. Liu +2
The introduction of transient learning degrees of freedom into a system can lead to novel material design and training protocols that guide a system into a desired metastable state…
