A comprehensive review is presented of the physical behavior of yield stress materials in
soft condensed matter, which encompasses a broad range of materials from colloidal …

We review progress in designing and transforming multi-functional yield-stress fluids and
give a perspective on the current state of knowledge that supports each step in the design …

We combine an analytically solvable mean-field elasto-plastic model with molecular
dynamics simulations of a generic glass former to demonstrate that, depending on their …

Primordial black holes (PBHs) are one of the candidates to explain the gravitational wave
(GW) signals observed by the LIGO detectors. Among several phenomena in the early …

Following a new microlensing constraint on primordial black holes (PBHs) with∼ 1 0 20–1 0
28 g [H. Niikura et al., arxiv: 1701.02151.], we revisit the idea of PBH as all dark matter (DM) …

Amorphous solids are ubiquitous among natural and man-made materials. Often used as
structural materials for their attractive mechanical properties, their utility depends critically on …

Materials with an irreversible response to cyclic driving exhibit an evolving internal state
which, in principle, encodes information on the driving history. Here we realize irreversible …

Despite the diversity of materials designated as active matter, virtually all active systems
undergo a form of dynamic arrest when crowding and activity compete, reminiscent of the …

We propose a novel scenario to produce abundant primordial black holes (PBHs) in new
inflation which is a second phase of a double inflation in the supergravity framework. In our …

We perform molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the effect of a glass preparation
on its yielding transition under oscillatory shear. We use swap Monte Carlo to investigate a …
