In this work, we established a novel theory for the dynamics of oscillating bubbles such as
cavitation bubbles, underwater explosion bubbles, and air bubbles. For the first time, we …

In spite of the growing body of evidence against it, the elasticity view of the phenomenon of
cavitation in elastomers continues to be utilized in numerous studies. In this context, the …

Gas bubbles present in liquids underpin many natural phenomena and human-developed
technologies that improve the quality of life. Since all living organisms are predominantly …

The tendency of Li plating at the surface of thick graphite electrodes greatly limits their
application in electrical vehicle (EV) batteries for fast charging applications. To address this …

Biofilms are aggregates of bacterial cells surrounded by an extracellular matrix. Much
progress has been made in studying biofilm growth on solid substrates; however, little is …

Crack propagation is the major vehicle for material failure, but the mechanisms by which
cracks propagate remain longstanding riddles, especially for glassy materials with a long …

Biological cells use droplets to separate components and spatially control their interior.
Experiments demonstrate that the complex, crowded cellular environment affects the droplet …

Cavitation is an important phenomenon in biomedical acoustics. It can produce both desired
outcomes (ie, local therapeutic effects in vivo) and undesired outcomes (ie, tissue damage) …

Solid surface tension can deform soft elastic materials at macroscopic length scales. At a
critical surface tension, elastocapillary instabilities in soft filaments emerge that resemble the …

Three-dimensional superhydrophobic materials are characterized by a low surface energy
and extremely low strength, and hence require reinforcement for viable applications. An …
