… Further, in thin sheets, the energy and forces associated with membrane mode in-plane
stretch scales as the thickness while those associated with bending mode differential in-plane …

Much recent progress has been made in the study of nematic solids, both glassy and
elastomeric, particularly in the realm of stress-free, defect-driven deformation in thin sheets of …

… In an associated paper, we investigate the converse phenomenon, namely the suppression
of such bend owing to nonlinear coupling between perpendicular bending modes arising …

… Cell migration during development occurs via distinct modes broadly classified as single or
… We thank the Norden lab and Modes lab members for critical comments on the project and …

… One common mode of tissue fluidization is by topological transitions that bring about cell
rearrangements. This mode is important for example during avian and zebrafish gastrulation (…

To quantitatively understand biological processes that occur over many hours or days, it is
desirable to image multiple samples simultaneously, and automatically process and analyse …

… Some evidence for this view has been derived from ECoG recordings, where it has been
shown that dynamical modes close to the critical line in awake subjects move subtly but …

Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) can undergo large reversible contractions along their nematic
director upon heating or illumination. A spatially patterned director within a flat LCE sheet…

In amorphous solids as in tissues, neighbor exchanges can relax local stresses and allow
the material to flow. In this paper, we use an anisotropic vertex model to study T1 …
