The physics of jamming for granular materials: a review
RP Behringer, B Chakraborty - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
Granular materials consist of macroscopic grains, interacting via contact forces, and
unaffected by thermal fluctuations. They are one of a class systems that undergo jamming, ie …

Edwards statistical mechanics for jammed granular matter
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 …

Geometric constraints during epithelial jamming
As an injury heals, an embryo develops or a carcinoma spreads, epithelial cells
systematically change their shape. In each of these processes cell shape is studied …

A novel jamming phase diagram links tumor invasion to non-equilibrium phase separation
It is well established that the early malignant tumor invades surrounding extracellular matrix
(ECM) in a manner that depends upon material properties of constituent cells, surrounding …

Random close packing as a dynamical phase transition
Sphere packing is an ancient problem. The densest packing is known to be a face-centered
cubic (FCC) crystal, with space-filling fraction ϕ FCC= π/18≈ 0.74. The densest “random …

Unjamming and collective migration in MCF10A breast cancer cell lines
JH Kim, AF Pegoraro, A Das, SA Koehler… - Biochemical and …, 2020 - Elsevier
Each cell comprising an intact, healthy, confluent epithelial layer ordinarily remains
sedentary, firmly adherent to and caged by its neighbors, and thus defines an elemental …

Experimental test of the Edwards volume ensemble for tapped granular packings
Using x-ray tomography, we experimentally investigate granular packings subject to
mechanical tapping for three types of beads with different friction coefficients. We validate …

Basins with tentacles
Y Zhang, SH Strogatz - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
To explore basin geometry in high-dimensional dynamical systems, we consider a ring of
identical Kuramoto oscillators. Many attractors coexist in this system; each is a twisted …
