Carbon is one of the most intriguing elements in the Periodic Table. It forms many allotropes,
some known from ancient times (diamond and graphite) and some discovered 10-20 years …

The physics of graphene is acting as a bridge between quantum field theory and condensed
matter physics due to the special quality of the graphene quasiparticles behaving as …

This book provides a state of the art report of the knowledge accumulated in graphene
research. The fascination with graphene has been growing very rapidly in recent years and …

Cellular factors tightly regulate the architecture of bundles of filamentous cytoskeletal
proteins, giving rise to assemblies with distinct morphologies and physical properties, and a …

Large-scale atomistic simulations, which we define as containing more than 100 000 atoms,
are becoming more commonplace as computational resources increase and efficient …

With rapidly expanding interest in liquid crystalline polymers and elastomers among the
liquid crystal community, researchers are currently exploring the wide range of possible …

In this short review we give an overview of selected macroscopic properties of sidechain
liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs) focusing on three closely related topics (a) the influence …

We investigate the relation between dilatation and conformal symmetries in the statistical
mechanics of flexible crystalline membranes. We analyze, in particular, a well-known model …

We study transport properties of clean suspended graphene at the Dirac point. In the
absence of the electron-electron interaction, the main contribution to resistivity comes from …

Herein, we study stress–strain diagrams of soft biological materials such as animal skin,
muscles, and arteries by Finsler geometry (FG) modeling. The stress–strain diagram of these …
