In this review, today's state of the art in the rheology of gels and transition through the yield
stress of yielding liquids is discussed. Gels are understood as soft viscoelastic …

Earth's surface is composed of a staggering diversity of particulate–fluid mixtures: dry to wet,
dilute to dense, colloidal to granular and attractive to repulsive particles. This material variety …

We combine an analytically solvable mean-field elasto-plastic model with molecular
dynamics simulations of a generic glass former to demonstrate that, depending on their …

The dynamical arrest of attractive colloidal particles into out-of-equilibrium structures, known
as gelation, is central to biophysics, materials science, nanotechnology, and food and …

This perspective article reviews arguments that glass-forming liquids are different from those
of standard liquid-state theory, which typically have a viscosity in the mPa· s range and …

A solid loaded beyond the yield stress loses its elastic properties and becomes plastic. From
a microscopic point of view, this limit corresponds to the condition where plastic regions …

The microscopic mechanism by which amorphous solids yield plastically under an externally
applied stress or deformation has remained elusive in spite of enormous research activity in …

Spin-orbit torques (SOT) provide a versatile tool to manipulate the magnetization of diverse
classes of materials and devices using electric currents, leading to novel spintronic memory …

Amorphous solids display a ductile to brittle transition as the kinetic stability of the quiescent
glass is increased, which leads to a material failure controlled by the sudden emergence of …

Establishing quantifiable links between individual-particle dynamics and macroscopic
response of granular materials has been a longstanding challenge, with implications in …
