Viewing Earth's surface as a soft-matter landscape
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 …

Stress-activated friction in sheared suspensions probed with piezoelectric nanoparticles
A hallmark of concentrated suspensions is non-Newtonian behavior, whereby the viscosity
increases dramatically once a characteristic shear rate or stress is exceeded. Such strong …

Shear thinning in non-Brownian suspensions explained by variable friction between particles
We propose to explain shear-thinning behaviour observed in most concentrated non-
Brownian suspensions by variable friction between particles. Considering the low …

Testing the Wyart–Cates model for non-Brownian shear thickening using bidisperse suspensions
There is a growing consensus that shear thickening of concentrated dispersions is driven by
the formation of stress-induced frictional contacts. The Wyart–Cates (WC) model of this …
