  Self-Organization and Memory in a Disordered Solid Subject to Random Driving

  We consider self-organization and memory formation in a mesoscopic model of an amorphous solid subject to a protocol of random shear confined to a strain range ±𝜖max. We develop proper readout protocols to show that the response of the driven (...)

  Comment naissent les dunes : un modèle pour comprendre les formes sableuses de taille métrique

  Les paysages de dunes ne se limitent pas aux grandes collines ondulantes des déserts. Entre les dunes principales, sur des zones parfois compactes ou gravillonneuses, apparaissent aussi de petites formes sableuses de quelques mètres. Trop (...)

  Mechanical stress driven by rigidity sensing governs epithelial stability

  S. Sonam et al. Nature Physics, 19, 2023, 132–141. Epithelia act as barriers against environmental stresses. They are continuously exposed to various mechanical stress and abrasion, which impact epithelial integrity. The impact of the (...)
