In 1989, Sir Sam Edwards made the visionary proposition to treat jammed granular materials
using a volume ensemble of equiprobable jammed states in analogy to thermal equilibrium …

Ultrasonic neuromodulation has the unique potential to provide non-invasive control of
neural activity in deep brain regions with high spatial precision and without chemical or …

The tumor micro-environment often contains stiff and irregular-bundled collagen fibers that
are used by tumor cells to disseminate. It is still unclear how and to what extent, extracellular …

Collagen forms fibrous networks that reinforce tissues and provide an extracellular matrix for
cells. These networks exhibit remarkable strain-stiffening properties that tailor the …

We present an approach to understand geometric-incompatibility–induced rigidity in
underconstrained materials, including subisostatic 2D spring networks and 2D and 3D …

Living systems are composed of molecules that are synthesized by cells that use energy
sources within their surroundings to create fascinating materials that have mechanical …

Fiber-based materials are prevalent around us. While microscopically these systems
resemble a discrete assembly of randomly interconnected fibers, the network architecture …

Tissue morphogenesis is strikingly robust. Yet, how tissues are sculpted under challenging
conditions is unknown. Here, we combined network analysis, experimental perturbations …

In this Letter, we study superconducting moiré homobilayer transition metal dichalcogenides
where the Ising spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is much larger than the moiré bandwidth. We call …

Tissues commonly consist of cells embedded within a fibrous biopolymer network. Whereas
cell-free reconstituted biopolymer networks typically soften under applied uniaxial …
