The goal of seeking advanced solutions to the descriptions of particle shape, packing and tomographic measurement were key areas promoted by Professor Reg Davies. In this paper …
Softer than soft, squishy granular matter is composed of grains capable of significantly changing their shape (typically a deformation larger than 10%) without tearing or breaking …
Synthesizing biomimetic prototissues with predictable physical properties is a promising tool for the study of cellular tissues, as they would enable to test systematically the role of …
E-cadherin plays a central role in cell-cell adhesion. The ectodomains of wild-type cadherins form a crystalline-like two-dimensional lattice in cell-cell interfaces mediated by both trans …

Jammed, disordered packings of given sets of particles possess a multitude of equilibrium states with different mechanical properties. Identifying and constructing desired states, eg, of …
We study the influence of particle-size asymmetry on structural evolution of randomly jammed binary sphere mixtures with varying large-sphere and small-sphere composition …

In a confluent, single-cell tissue layer, we show that cell shapes and statistics correlate directly with the tissue's mechanical properties, described by an energy functional with …
