As liquids approach the glass transition temperature, dynamical heterogeneity emerges as a
crucial universal feature of their behavior. Dynamic facilitation, where local motion triggers …

We study a mean field elastoplastic model, embedded within a disordered landscape of
local yield barriers, to shed light on the behavior of athermal amorphous solids subject to …

Amorphous solids such as coffee foam, toothpaste, or mayonnaise display a transient creep
flow when a stress Σ is suddenly imposed. The associated strain rate is commonly found to …

We consider the yielding behavior of amorphous solids under cyclic shear deformation and
show that it can be mapped into a random walk in a confining potential with an absorbing …

Plastic events in sheared glasses are considered an example of so-called avalanches,
whose sizes obey a power-law probability distribution with the avalanche critical exponent τ …

We investigate avalanches and clusters associated with plastic rearrangements and the
nature of structural change in the prototypical strong glass, silica, computationally. We …

We study the linear response to strain in a mean-field elastoplastic model for athermal
amorphous solids, incorporating the power-law mechanical noise spectrum arising from …

Protein condensates formed by liquid-liquid phase separation exhibit aging rheological
properties and are considered under biological regulation and related to multiple diseases …

Developing a unified theory describing both ductile and brittle yielding constitutes a
fundamental challenge of non-equilibrium statistical physics. Recently, it has been proposed …

We numerically study the zero-temperature relaxation dynamics of several glass-forming
models to their inherent structures, following quenches from equilibrium configurations …
