The search for scale-bridging relations in the deformation of amorphous materials presents
a current challenge with tremendous applications in material science, engineering and …

Using numerical simulations, we examine the dynamics of run-and-tumble disks moving in a
disordered array of fixed obstacles. As a function of increasing active disk density and …

This Letter introduces unexpected diffusion properties in dense granular flows and shows
that they result from the development of partially jammed clusters of grains, or granular …

Dense suspensions often exhibit a dramatic response to large external deformation. The
recent body of work has related this behavior to transition from an unconstrained lubricated …

Currently, a general framework explaining the fundamental dynamic transitions from solid to
fluid of mechanically probed soft materials is lacking. Now, a unifying van der Waals-like …

By using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of dense granular particles in two
dimensions, we study turbulent-like structures of their non-affine velocities under simple …

Microbes routinely face the challenge of acquiring territory and resources on wet surfaces.
Cells move in large groups inside thin, surface-bound water layers, often achieving speeds …

In this work we present results of the flow of monodisperse spheres in a two-dimensional
silo. By taking high-speed video during the flow of grains, we are able to look at the …

In this work, a model for the interaction force between a small bubble and a wall or another
bubble is presented. The formulation is especially designed for Lagrangian calculations of …

Networks and dense suspensions frequently reside near a boundary between soft (or
fluidlike) and rigid (or solidlike) regimes. Transitions between these regimes can be driven …
