Excited to release arxiv.org/abs/2307.11827, led by @abigail_plummer & former undergrad Caroline Adkins in collaboration with Andrej Košmrlj! We studied how the growth/expansion of a body is altered (often in surprising ways!) by obstructions. 🧽🎆 Tweetorial follows... [1/11]

How should we model the dynamics of root growth as it turns towards gravity? As physicists, we tried using a damped harmonic oscillator. And it works! In small angles. Check out our new @JXBot paper, with @mthrvr and @MerozLab: doi.org/10.1093/jxb/erad383

Crumpled sheets reveal a mechanism for glassy relaxations

We often crumple a scrap piece of paper into a ball before throwing it. This mundane action, however, creates a unique complex system with surprising mechanical properties. Take a thin plastic sheet...

Our latest research, just published in @NaturePhysics: slow relaxations and logarithmic aging occur via self-organized avalanches of local instabilities. Splendid work by @Yaniv_Friedman and Dor Shohat @ComplexLab_TAU @TelAvivUni nature.com/articles/s41567-0… rdcu.be/dngVA

Logarithmic aging via instability cascades in disordered systems

Nature Physics - Many complex systems relax slowly towards equilibrium after a perturbation, without ever reaching it. Experiments with crumpled sheets now show that these relaxations involve...

Amorphous, complex matter can store long-lasting memories of past mechanical perturbations. We show that these can be tracked and quantified using a global observable - just measure dissipation! journals.aps.org/prl/abstrac…

Check out our new preprint on macroscopic signatures of memory formation in complex matter - just track dissipation! arxiv.org/abs/2209.00572

Dissipation indicates memory formation in driven disordered systems

Disordered and amorphous materials often retain memories of perturbations they have experienced since preparation. Studying such memories is a gateway to understanding this challenging class of...
