Elasticity typically refers to a material's ability to store energy, whereas viscosity refers to a
material's tendency to dissipate it. In this review, we discuss fluids and solids for which this is …

A comprehensive review of spatiotemporal pattern formation in systems driven away from
equilibrium is presented, with emphasis on comparisons between theory and quantitative …

Out of equilibrium, a lack of reciprocity is the rule rather than the exception. Non-reciprocity
occurs, for instance, in active matter,,,,–, non-equilibrium systems,–, networks of neurons …

We examine a nonreciprocally coupled dynamical model of a mixture of two diffusing
species. We demonstrate that nonreciprocity, which is encoded in the model via antagonistic …

This book gives a systematic overview on the scientific fundamentals of crystal growth from
the classical phenomenological description to the recent theoretical contributions of …

We introduce the concept of self-tuned criticality as a general mechanism for signal
detection in sensory systems. In the case of hearing, we argue that active amplification of …

In 1991, the late Peter Haasen, who had set out to edit a comprehensive treatment of
“Materials Science and Technology” together with Robert W. Cahn and Edward J. Kramer, a …

A small liquid drop can be kept bouncing on the surface of a bath of the same fluid for an
unlimited time when this substrate oscillates vertically. With fluids of low viscosity the …

At equilibrium, Bloch walls are chiral interfaces between domains with different
magnetization. Far from equilibrium, a set of forced oscillators can exhibit walls between …

Chimera states consisting of domains of coherently and incoherently oscillating identical
oscillators with nonlocal coupling are studied. These states usually coexist with the fully …
