Learning is traditionally studied in biological or computational systems. The power of
learning frameworks in solving hard inverse problems provides an appealing case for the …

A critical aspect of evolution is the layer of developmental physiology that operates between
the genotype and the anatomical phenotype. While much work has addressed the evolution …

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 …

Strongly interacting artificial spin systems are moving beyond mimicking naturally occurring
materials to emerge as versatile functional platforms, from reconfigurable magnonics to …

Materials that exhibit yielding behavior are used in many applications, from spreadable
foods and cosmetics to direct write three-dimensional printing inks and filled rubbers. Their …

Abstract Information processing using material's own properties has gained increasing
interest. Mechanical metamaterials, due to their diversity of deformation modes and wide …

Materials with an irreversible response to cyclic driving exhibit an evolving internal state
which, in principle, encodes information on the driving history. Here we realize irreversible …

The nonlinear response of driven complex materials—disordered magnets, amorphous
media, and crumpled sheets—features intricate transition pathways where the system …

The surge in advanced manufacturing techniques has led to a paradigm shift in the realm of
material design from developing completely new chemistry to tailoring geometry within …

Crumpling an ordinary thin sheet transforms it into a structure with unusual mechanical
behaviors, such as enhanced rigidity, emission of crackling noise, slow relaxations, and …
