Many soft materials, including microgels, dense colloidal emulsions, star polymers, dense packings of multilamellar vesicles, and textured morphologies of liquid crystals, share the basic 'glassy' features of structural disorder and metastability. Th... Read More about Shear banding in soft glassy materials.

Hydrodynamic suppression of phase separation in active suspensions (2014)
Journal Article
Matas-Navarro, R., Golestanian, R., Liverpool, T. B., & Fielding, S. M. (2014). Hydrodynamic suppression of phase separation in active suspensions. Physical review E: Statistical, nonlinear, and soft matter physics, 90(3), Article 032304. https://doi.org/10.1103/physreve.90.032304

We simulate with hydrodynamics a suspension of active disks squirming through a Newtonian fluid. We explore numerically the full range of squirmer area fractions from dilute to close packed and show that “motility induced phase separation,” which was...
