Jamming is a ubiquitous phenomenon that appears in many soft matter systems, including
granular materials, foams, colloidal suspensions, emulsions, polymers, and cells—when …

Rich out-of-equilibrium collective dynamics of strongly interacting large assemblies emerge
in many areas of science. Some intriguing and not fully understood examples are the glassy …

The similarity in mechanical properties of dense active matter and sheared amorphous
solids has been noted in recent years without a rigorous examination of the underlying …

Structural glasses form through various out-of-equilibrium processes, including temperature
quenches, rapid compression (crunches), and shear. Although each of these processes …

We numerically study the shear rheology of a binary mixture of soft active Brownian
particles, from the fluid to the disordered solid regime. At low shear rates, we find a …

Memory encoding by cyclic shear is a reliable process to store information in jammed solids,
yet its underlying mechanism and its connection to the amorphous structure are not fully …

We use extensive computer simulations to study the yielding transition under two different
loading schemes: standard simple shear dynamics and self-propelled dense active systems …

We investigate the steady-state distribution function of a run-and-tumble particle (RTP)
evolving around a repulsive hard spherical obstacle. We demonstrate that the well …

The physics of disordered media, from metallic glasses to colloidal suspensions, granular
matter and biological tissues, offers difficult challenges because it often occurs far from …

We investigated the yielding phenomenon in the quasistatic limit using numerical
simulations of soft particles. Two different deformation scenarios, simple shear (passive) and …
