Machine Learning the Entropy to Estimate Free Energy Differences without Sampling Transitions
Yamin Ben-Shimon, Barak Hirshberg, Yohai Bar-Sinai
Thermodynamic phase transitions, a central concept in physics and chemistry, are typically controlled by an interplay of enthalpic and entropic contributions. In most cases, the es…
Hidden Markov modeling of single particle diffusion with stochastic tethering
Amit Federbush, Amit Moscovich, Yohai Bar-Sinai
The statistics of the diffusive motion of particles often serve as an experimental proxy for their interaction with the environment. However, inferring the physical properties from…
Beyond Quality and Quantity: Contact Distribution Encodes Frictional Strength
Sam Dillavou, Yohai Bar Sinai, Michael P Brenner +1
Classically, the quantity of contact area between two bodies is considered a proxy for the force of friction. However, bond density across the interface - quality of contact…
Geometric charges and nonlinear elasticity of soft metamaterials
Yohai Bar-Sinai, Gabriele Librandi, Katia Bertoldi +1
Problems of flexible mechanical metamaterials, and highly deformable porous solids in general, are rich and complex due to nonlinear mechanics and nontrivial geometrical effects. W…
Spatiotemporal dynamics of frictional systems: The interplay of interfacial friction and bulk elasticity
Yohai Bar-Sinai, Michael Aldam, Robert Spatschek +2
Frictional interfaces are abundant in natural and engineering systems, and predicting their behavior still poses challenges of prime scientific and technological importance. At the…
Machine Learning in a data-limited regime: Augmenting experiments with synthetic data uncovers order in crumpled sheets
Jordan Hoffmann, Yohai Bar-Sinai, Lisa Lee +4
Machine learning has gained widespread attention as a powerful tool to identify structure in complex, high-dimensional data. However, these techniques are ostensibly inapplicable f…
Local thermal energy as a structural indicator in glasses
Jacques Zylberg, Edan Lerner, Yohai Bar-Sinai +1
Identifying heterogeneous structures in glasses --- such as localized soft spots --- and understanding structure-dynamics relations in these systems remain major scientific challen…
