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 …

Memory formation in matter is a theme of broad intellectual relevance; it sits at the
interdisciplinary crossroads of physics, biology, chemistry, and computer science. Memory …

When deformed beyond their elastic limits, crystalline solids flow plastically via particle
rearrangements localized around structural defects. Disordered solids also flow, but without …

Solid ferromagnetic materials are rigid in shape and cannot be reconfigured. Ferrofluids,
although reconfigurable, are paramagnetic at room temperature and lose their …

The physics above and below the yield stress is unified by a simple model for viscoplasticity
that accounts for the nonlinear rheology of multiple yield stress fluids. The model has a rate …

We perform molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the effect of a glass preparation
on its yielding transition under oscillatory shear. We use swap Monte Carlo to investigate a …

The physical processes governing the onset of yield, where a material changes its shape
permanently under external deformation, are not yet understood for amorphous solids that …

We review recent work on active colloids or swimmers, such as self-propelled
microorganisms, phoretic colloidal particles, and artificial micro-robotic systems, moving in …

We use computer simulations to analyze the yielding transition during large-amplitude
oscillatory shear of a simple model for soft jammed solids. Simultaneous analysis of global …

Epithelial tissues provide an important barrier function in animals, but these tissues are
subjected to extreme strains during day-to-day activities such as feeding and locomotion …
