Particles floating at interfaces are commonly observed in nature, as well as in industrial
processes. When the particles are non-Brownian particles, large deformations of the …

Superhydrophobicity is a remarkable surface property found in nature and mimicked in
many engineering applications, including anti-wetting, anti-fogging, and anti-fouling …

Cell rearrangements are critical for tissue remodeling during diverse biological processes,
such as morphogenesis or cancer progression. They control tissue fluidity and can lead to …

Columnar structures, many of which are helical, refer to dense cylindrical packings of
particles. They are ubiquitous, that is, they exist in the contexts of botany, foams, and …

Amorphous and crystalline solids have long been considered as two distinct kinds of rigidity
at the opposite ends of the order-disorder continuum. Crystals are usually treated in …

A close relation between the optimal packing of spheres in R d and minimal energy E
(effective conductivity) of composites with ideally conducting spherical inclusions is …

We simulate a two-dimensional array of droplets being compressed between two walls. The
droplets are adhesive due to an attractive depletion force. As one wall moves toward the …

We investigate the growth of aggregates made of adhesive frictionless oil droplets, piling up
against a solid interface. Monodisperse droplets are produced one by one in an aqueous …

The article is devoted to recently established connection between the packing problem of
disks on torus and the effective conductivity of composites with circular inclusions. The …

We investigate the elastic and yielding properties of two dimensional defect-free mono-
crystals made of highly monodisperse droplets. Crystals are compressed between two …
