Softness plays a key role in determining the macroscopic properties of colloidal systems,
from synthetic nanogels to biological macromolecules, from viruses to star polymers …

The global demand for data storage and processing has increased exponentially in recent
decades. To respond to this demand, research efforts have been devoted to the …

Nanogels and microgels are soft, deformable, and penetrable objects with an internal gel-
like structure that is swollen by the dispersing solvent. Their softness and the potential to …

Abstract 3D bioprinting involves the combination of 3D printing technologies with cells,
growth factors and biomaterials, and has been considered as one of the most advanced …

Complex materials are composed of basic units which invariably interact with anharmonic
potentials. It is well known that the dynamics of systems with anharmonic interaction are …

Gels made from soft microscale particles smoothly transition between the fluid and solid
states, making them an ideal medium in which to create macroscopic structures with …

Biomaterials play a critical role in modern medicine as surgical guides, implants for tissue
repair, and as drug delivery systems. The emerging paradigm of precision medicine exploits …

Collective cell migration in tissues occurs throughout embryonic development, during wound
healing, and in cancerous tumor invasion, yet most detailed knowledge of cell migration …

Due to their controlled size, sensitivity to external stimuli, and ease-of-use, microgel colloids
are unique building blocks for soft materials made by crosslinking polymers on the …

As one increases the concentration of a colloidal suspension, the system exhibits a dramatic
increase in viscosity. Beyond a certain concentration, the system is said to be a colloidal …
