In the dynamic environments of tissues, mechanical forces play a crucial role in shaping cell behavior and function. Our research aims to decode and control the mechanisms by which cells perceive,…

Electrochemistry is a powerful tuning knob for inducing drastic optical property changes. By applying an electrical bias while using counterions to maintain charge neutrality, electrochemistry can…

Tidewater glaciers are the gatekeepers between arctic ice sheets and the ocean. In Greenland, these glaciers are formed from ice that is squeezed into narrow channels called fjords, where the flow…

Is it possible to design an architectured material or structure whose elastic energy is arbitrarily close to a specified continuous function? This is possible in one dimension, up to an additive…

Under cooling, a supercooled liquid undergoes a glass transition and stops flowing. Physicists do not agree on the microscopic reasons that make a glass solid. Some view this phenomenon as being…
