Locally broken symmetries are used across fields to transport matter, particles, andinformation in preferential directions. Beyond local mechanisms, spatially distributednonlinearities in crystalline media have enabled nonreciprocal transport, a …

Mechanical energy dissipation in networked materials is relevant for applications from vibration isolation to impact protection, yet identifying optimal dissipative architectures in large disordered truss networks is computationally …

Adaptive transport networks in biological and physical systems exhibit hierarchical organization, characteristic channel spacing, and robust scaling relations. Existing adaptive network models, formulated on a lattice, successfully reproduce …

Peristalsis is the driving mechanism behind a broad array of biological and engineered flows. In peristaltic pumping, a wavelike contraction of the tube wall produces local changes in …

Network remodeling, or adaptation, in the presence of periodically driven forcings has hereto remained largely unexplored, despite the fact that a broad class of biological transport networks, e …

Nearly, all dense suspensions undergo dramatic and abrupt thickening transitions in their flow behavior when sheared at high stresses. Such transitions occur when the dominant interactions between the …

Interactions between commuting individuals can lead to large-scale spreading of rumors, ideas, or disease, even though the commuters have no net displacement. The emergent dynamics depend crucially …

Fluid flow networks are ubiquitous and can be found in a broad range of contexts, from human-made systems such as water supply networks to living systems like …

The mechanical properties of a thin, planar material, perfused by an embedded flow network, have been suggested to be potentially changeable locally and globally by fluid transport and …
