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 …

We review the state of the art in foam and highly concentrated emulsion rheology, with an
emphasis on progress made over the last five years. Since the structures and physico …

Embryo morphogenesis is impacted by dynamic changes in tissue material properties,
which have been proposed to occur via processes akin to phase transitions (PTs). Here, we …

Abstract 3D-printing networks of droplets connected by interface bilayers are a powerful
platform to build synthetic tissues in which functionality relies on precisely ordered …

The origin of rigidity in disordered materials is an outstanding open problem in statistical
physics. Previously, a class of 2D cellular models has been shown to undergo a rigidity …

We investigate the structural, vibrational, and mechanical properties of jammed packings of
deformable particles with shape degrees of freedom in three dimensions (3D). Each 3D …

Rigidity percolation (RP) occurs when mechanical stability emerges in disordered networks
as constraints or components are added. Here we discuss RP with structural correlations, an …

Colloidal dispersions are prized as model systems to understand the basic properties of
materials and are central to a wide range of industries from cosmetics to foods to …

While the large majority of theoretical and numerical studies of the jamming transition
consider athermal packings of purely repulsive spheres, real complex fluids and soft solids …

We perform computational studies of jammed particle packings in two dimensions
undergoing isotropic compression using the well-characterized soft particle (SP) model and …
