The stability of periodic states under applied strain is investigated using the one-dimensional phase-field-crystal (PFC) model. We perform a linear stability analysis of periodic states within the on...

We show that surface waves in a draining-bathtub vortex provide a hydrodynamic realization of both Aharonov-Bohm phase shifts and Lense-Thirring frame dragging within a single system. A static time tr...

Transitions from quiescence to collective migration in epithelia underlie wound healing and cancer invasion, yet their physical origin remains poorly understood. Here we show that quiescent epithelial...

Wave-topology interactions lie at the heart of numerous physical phenomena, from condensed matter systems to cosmological models, exemplified by the Aharonov-Bohm effect. Drawing on its classical anal...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a peer reviewed journal of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) - an authoritative source of high-impact, original research that broadly spans...

Quasicrystals (QCs) are a class of aperiodic ordered structures that emerge in various systems, from metallic alloys to soft matter and driven non-equ…

T1 transitions---cell neighbor exchanges---are key drivers of tissue remodeling and fluidization in epithelial monolayers. Using a multiphase field (MPF) model that accounts for dynamic cell shapes, a...

Quasicrystals (QCs) are a class of aperiodic ordered structures that emerge in various systems, from metallic alloys to soft matter and driven non-equilibrium systems. Within a mesoscale theory based ...

Organogenesis involves large deformations and complex shape changes that require elaborate mechanical regulation. Models of tissue biomechanics have been introduced to account for the coupling between...
