We review progress in designing and transforming multi-functional yield-stress fluids and
give a perspective on the current state of knowledge that supports each step in the design …

Nanoemulsions exhibit unique behavior due to their nanoscopic dimensions, including
remarkable droplet stability, interactions, and rheology. These properties are significantly …

Many fundamental issues in classical condensed matter physics can be addressed
experimentally using systems of individually visible mesoscopic particles playing the role of …

Colloids often behave in a manner similar to their counterparts in molecular space and are
used as model systems to understand molecular behavior. Here, we study like-charged …

We report a simple correlation between microstructure and strain-dependent elasticity in
colloidal gels by visualizing the evolution of cluster structure in high strain-rate flows. We …

We use numerical simulations and an athermal quasistatic shear protocol to investigate the
yielding of a model colloidal gel. Under increasing deformation, the elastic regime is …

Coarsening and kinetic arrest of colloidal systems undergoing spinodal decomposition (SD)
is a conserved motif for forming hierarchical, bicontinuous structures. Although the …

Rigidity percolation (RP) occurs when mechanical stability emerges in disordered networks
as constraints or components are added. Here we discuss RP with structural correlations, an …

Soft-agglomerate restructuring, break-up (or fragmentation) and relaxation are studied in a
simple shear flow by a discrete element method (DEM). The agglomerates, held together by …

The ageing behaviour of dense suspensions or pastes at rest is almost exclusively attributed
to structural dynamics. Here, we identify another ageing process, contact-controlled ageing …
