Testing, testing...is this thing on? For anyone still out there, I offer a link to Michael & Sourav's new paper on frustration meets conformal mechanical metamembranes journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1… @BrandeisMRSEC

Excited to hear our very own Dr. @Astro_Cady, @UMassPSE alum, interviewed by @rameswaram on @today_explained! vox.com/today-explaine… #scienceinspace 👩🚀+🚀=🧪
Straining the bonds that hold misfits together - New @PhysRevE by Kyle describes theory of self-limitation vs. frustration escape in assemblies of curved colloidal particles doi.org/10.1103/PhysRe… @BrandeisMRSEC
Close packing of anisotropic filaments favors helical geometry. New work by @bgrnvll !
1/n Excited to share my latest collab with @gmgrason (@UMassPSE) on helical packing of anisotropic filaments, published now in @NJPhysics doi.org/10.1088/1367-2… where we show how a filament’s aspect ratio influences its allowed configurations and optimal packing
What a difference a plate makes! Check out Geunwoong's new paper in @softmatter, the latest from our collaboration with the Santore group @UMassPSE on the "intermezzo" behaviors of 2D fluid-solid composite vesicles doi.org/10.1039/D4SM00…
New preprint! In collaboration with @mike_dimitriyev and former student Caleb Anderson, we showed that depending on how you link the loops in a network of molecular chainmail, you get positive, negative, or flat Gaussian curvature. arxiv.org/html/2406.1359…
Coming to @UMassPSE on Friday June 14, honoring Irem Bolukbasi. Looking forward to a special day of science and reflection....
What is the emergent mechanics of a 3D network of 1D liquids? New @PhysRevLett by @mike_dimitriyev finds generic non-affine collective deformations of self-assembled, bicontinuous mesophases journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1…
New paper with @BrandeisMRSEC, @HaganLab and @csantangelo314 demonstrates economical assembly of size-tailored, triply-periodic minimal surfaces via "inverted" Caspar-Klug design principles dx.doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…

Interested in geometry, mechanics, fiberous materials, or MathArt? I'll be talking about our work (conducted with @gmgrason) on dense helical filaments today at APS March Meeting in session S34 (Knots and Tangles) at 9:48ct in room 102F!
