Author(s): James O. Cochran, Grace L. Callaghan, Miles J. G. Caven, and Suzanne M. Fielding Strain localization in shear bands is key to the yielding and material failure of amorphous systems subject to oscillatory shear. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 168202] Published Wed Apr 17, 2024

Author(s): Claudio B. Caporusso, Giuseppe Gonnella, and Demian Levis We study a model chiral fluid in two dimensions composed of Brownian disks interacting via a Lennard-Jones potential and a nonconservative transverse force, mimicking colloids spinning at a given rate. The system exhibits a phase separation between a chiral liquid and a dilute gas phase that can be … [Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 168201] Published Mon Apr 15, 2024

Author(s): C. M. Martens, M. Vis, and R. Tuinier An explicit analytical expression to predict the size of the depletion zone in like-charged polyelectrolyte-colloid mixtures allows for a direct comparison with experiments. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 158103] Published Fri Apr 12, 2024

Author(s): Mojtaba Rajabi, Taras Turiv, Bing-Xiang Li, Hend Baza, Dmitry Golovaty, and Oleg D. Lavrentovich Electrophoretic transport is greatly enhanced in a nematic environment due to shear thinning. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 158102] Published Thu Apr 11, 2024

Author(s): Andreas J. Mueller, Aaron P. Lindsay, Ronald M. Lewis, III, Qingteng Zhang, Suresh Narayanan, Timothy P. Lodge, Mahesh K. Mahanthappa, and Frank S. Bates Temperature-dependent x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) measurements are reported for a binary diblock-copolymer blend that self-assembles into an aperiodic dodecagonal quasicrystal and a periodic Frank-Kasper $σ$ phase approximant. The measured structural relaxation times...

Author(s): Gari Kasparyan and Jochen S. Hub The formation of pores over lipid membranes by the application of electric fields, termed membrane electroporation, is widely used in biotechnology and medicine to deliver drugs, vaccines, or genes into living cells. Continuum models for describing the free energy landscape of membrane electroporati… [Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 148401] Published Thu Apr 04, 2024

Author(s): Norihiro Oyama, Takeshi Kawasaki, Kang Kim, and Hideyuki Mizuno In a sheared steady state, glasses reach a nonequilibrium criticality called yielding criticality. We report that the qualitative nature of this nonequilibrium critical phenomenon depends on the details of the system and that responses and fluctuations are governed by different critical correlation … [Phys.
