Stress Isotropization in Weakly Jammed Granular Packings
Félix Benoist, Mehdi Bouzid, Martin Lenz
When sheared, granular media experience localized plastic events known as shear transformations which generate anisotropic internal stresses. Under strong confining pressure, the r…

Specific yet transient bonds between anisotropic colloids
Muraleedharapai Mayarani, Justine Laurent, Martin Lenz +2
Self-assembly of colloidal particles is a promising avenue to control the shape and dynamics of larger aggregates. However, achieving the necessary fine control over the dynamics a…

Transient contacts between filaments impart its elasticity to branched actin
Mehdi Bouzid, Cesar Valencia Gallardo, Magdalena Kopec +5
Branched actin networks exert pushing forces in eukaryotic cells, and adapt their stiffness to their environment. The physical basis for their mechanics and adaptability is however…
