Kavli Affiliate: Mark J. Bowick | First 5 Authors: Yiwen Tang, Siyuan Chen, Mark J. Bowick, Dapeng Bi, | Summary: Biological tissues transform between solid-like and liquid-like states in many fundamental physiological events. Recent experimental observations further suggest that in two-dimensional epithelial tissues these solid-liquid transformations can happen via intermediate states akin to the intermediate […]
Kavli Affiliate: Boris I. Shraiman | First 5 Authors: Dillon J. Cislo, Anastasios Pavlopoulos, Boris I. Shraiman, , | Summary: How does growth encode form in developing organisms? Many different spatiotemporal growth profiles may sculpt tissues into the same target 3D shapes, but only specific growth patterns are observed in animal and plant development. In […]
Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | First 5 Authors: Qingkai Meng, Jianting Dong, Pan Nie, Liangcai Xu, Jinhua Wang | Summary: Whenever the elastic energy of a solid depends on magnetic field, there is a magnetostrictive response. Field-linear magnetostriction implies piezomagnetism and vice versa. Here, we show that Mn$_3$Sn, a non-collinear antiferromanget with Weyl nodes, hosts […]
Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | First 5 Authors: Aleksandar Razpopov, David A. S. Kaib, Steffen Backes, Leon Balents, Stephen D. Wilson | Summary: Motivated by recent reports of a quantum disordered ground state in the triangular lattice compound NaRuO$_2$, we derive a $j_{rm eff}=1/2$ magnetic model for this system by means of first-principles calculations. The […]
Kavli Affiliate: David Gross | First 5 Authors: Laurens T. Ligthart, David Gross, , , | Summary: It is a fundamental but difficult problem to characterize the set of correlations that can be obtained by performing measurements on quantum mechanical systems. The problem is particularly challenging when the preparation procedure for the quantum states is […]

Kavli Affiliate: Mark J. Bowick | First 5 Authors: Suraj Shankar, Luca V. D. Scharrer, Mark J. Bowick, M. Cristina Marchetti, | Summary: Topological defects play a central role in the physics of many materials, including magnets, superconductors and liquid crystals. In active fluids, defects become autonomous particles that spontaneously propel from internal active stresses […]

Kavli Affiliate: Mark J. Bowick | First 5 Authors: Michael F. Staddon, Arthur Hernandez, Mark J. Bowick, Michael Moshe, M. Cristina Marchetti | Summary: The vertex model of epithelia describes the apical surface of a tissue as a tiling of polygonal cells, with a mechanical energy governed by deviations in cell shape from preferred, or […]
Kavli Affiliate: Matthew Fisher | First 5 Authors: Titas Anciukevicius, Zexiang Xu, Matthew Fisher, Paul Henderson, Hakan Bilen | Summary: Diffusion models currently achieve state-of-the-art performance for both conditional and unconditional image generation. However, so far, image diffusion models do not support tasks required for 3D understanding, such as view-consistent 3D generation or single-view object […]
