Colloidal particles can be adsorbed at fluid–fluid interfaces, a phenomenon frequently
observed in particle-stabilized foams, Pickering emulsions, and bijels. Particles adsorbed at …

Many lab-on-a-chip applications require processing of droplets, cells, and particles using
narrow confinements. The physics governing the process of a particle squeezing through …

In this perspective we provide a brief overview of the state of knowledge and recent progress
in the area of multiphase flow through deformable granular media. We show, with many …

Slime molds are composed of simple units that aggregate into networks that exhibit
sophisticated emergent responses. These networks operate as smart biological materials …

We study fluid-induced deformation and fracture of cohesive granular media, and apply
photoporomechanics to uncover the underpinning grain-scale mechanics. We fabricate …

We study fluid-induced deformation of granular media, and the fundamental role of
capillarity and wettability on the emergence of fracture patterns. We develop a …

The dynamics and stability of thin liquid films have fascinated scientists over many decades.
Thin film flows are central to numerous areas of engineering, geophysics, and biophysics …

Over the past few decades, the phase-field method for fracture has seen widespread appeal
due to the many benefits associated with its ability to regularize a sharp crack geometry …

Fungi develop structures that interact with their surroundings and evolve adaptively in the
presence of geometrical constraints, finding optimal solutions for complex combinatorial …
