A comprehensive review is presented of the physical behavior of yield stress materials in soft condensed matter, which encompasses a broad range of materials from colloidal …
We combine the swap Monte Carlo algorithm to long multi-CPU molecular dynamics simulations to analyze the equilibrium relaxation dynamics of model supercooled liquids …
Successful computer studies of glass-forming materials need to overcome both the natural tendency to structural ordering and the dramatic increase of relaxation times at low …
Macromolecular crowding has a profound impact on reaction rates and the physical properties of the cell interior, but the mechanisms that regulate crowding are poorly …
BACKGROUND Colloids consist of solid or liquid particles, each about a few hundred nanometers in size, dispersed in a fluid and kept suspended by thermal fluctuations …
The physical nature of the bacterial cytoplasm is poorly understood even though it determines cytoplasmic dynamics and hence cellular physiology and behavior. Through …
Active colloids use energy input at the particle level to propel persistent motion and direct dynamic assemblies. We consider three types of colloids animated by chemical reactions …

Amorphous solids, or glasses, are distinguished from crystalline solids by their lack of long- range structural order. At the level of two-body structural correlations, glassformers show no …

With substantial progresses in reinforcement mechanism of nanoparticle filled polymers (NPFPs) beyond the hydrodynamic limit, now is the time to reconsider this topic …
