In a new study published in Physical Review Letters, a team from the Nägerl group, together with theory collaborator Alvise ...

Collective guidance of out-of-equilibrium systems without using external fields is a challenge of paramount importance in active matter, ranging from bacterial colonies to swarms of self-propelled ...

A collision between relativistic ions will sometimes, if the temperatures/energies of the particles are high enough, create a temporary state known as a quark-gluon plasma: where even individual ...

Biological activity is often highly concentrated on surfaces, across the scales from molecular motors and ciliary arrays to sessile and motile organisms. These ‘active carpets’ locally inject energy ...

Application of mechanics to the study of static equilibrium of rigid and elastic bodies. Topics includes composition and resolution of forces; moments and couples; equivalent force systems; free-body ...

Colloidal gels are complex systems made up of microscopic particles dispersed in a liquid, ultimately producing a semi-solid network. These materials have unique and advantageous properties that can ...
