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 …

Recently, many scientists have been making remarkable efforts to enhance the efficiency of
direct solar thermal absorption collectors that depends on working fluids. There are a …

Active materials are characterized by continuous injection of energy at the microscopic level
and typically cannot be adequately described by equilibrium thermodynamics. Here we …

Over the last 2 decades, the quartz crystal microbalance (QCM or QCM-D) has emerged as
a versatile tool for investigating soft and solvated interfaces between solid surfaces and bulk …

Many cellular processes are driven by cytoskeletal assemblies. It remains unclear how
cytoskeletal filaments and motor proteins organize into cellular scale structures and how …

Background—In ventricular dilatation or hypertrophy, an elevated end-diastolic pressure is
often assumed to be secondary to increased myocardial stiffness, but stiffness is rarely …

We report the emergence of large zigzag bands in a population of reversibly actuated
magnetic rotors that behave as active shakers, namely squirmers that shake the fluid around …

The effective interactions between the constituents of driven soft matter generically defy
Newton's third law. Combining theory and numerical simulations, we establish that six …

The interaction between two particles made of an isotropic linearly polarizable magnetic
material and embedded in an elastomer matrix is studied. In this case, when an external …

We investigate the nonlinear response to shear stress of a colloidal hard-sphere glass,
identifying several regimes depending on time, sample age, and the magnitude of applied …
