Optimal power and efficiency of odd engines
Odd materials feature antisymmetric response to perturbations. This anomalous property can stem from the nonequilibrium activity of their components, which is sustained by an external energy supply. These materials open the door...

Dissipation controls transport and phase transitions in active fluids
Abstract Active fluids operate by constantly dissipating energy at the particle level to perform a directed motion, yielding dynamics and phases without any equilibrium equivalent....

From pulsatile apicomedial contractility to effective epithelial mechanics.
We review recent developments in the understanding of the biomechanics of apicomedial actomyosin and how its contractility can tense and deform tissue. Myosin pulses are driven by a biochemical oscillator but how they are...

Thermodynamic cycles with active matter.
Active matter constantly dissipates energy to power the self-propulsion of its microscopic constituents. This opens the door to designing innovative cyclic engines without any equilibrium equivalent. We offer a consistent...

Sparse Cyclic Excitations Explain the Low Ionic Conductivity of Stoichiometric Li<sub>7</sub>La<sub>3</sub>Zr<sub>2</sub>O<sub>12</sub>
We have performed long time-scale molecular dynamics simulations of the cubic and tetragonal phases of the solid lithium-ion-electrolyte Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO), using a first-principles...

Stochastic Hydrodynamics of Complex Fluids
Many complex fluids can be described by continuum hydrodynamic field equations, to which noise must be added in order to capture thermal fluctuations. In almost all cases, the resulting coarse-grained stochastic partial...

Embryo-scale epithelial buckling forms a propagating furrow that initiates gastrulation.
Cell apical constriction driven by actomyosin contraction forces is a conserved mechanism during tissue folding in embryo development. While much is now understood of the molecular mechanism responsible for apical constriction...
