Abstract: The design of amorphous entangled systems, specifically from soft and active materials, has the potential to open exciting new classes of active, shape-shifting, and task-capable 'smart' materials. However, the global emergent mechanics that arise from… read more here.

Abstract: We experimentally study the rheology of long, slender, and entangled living worms (Tubifex Tubifex). Their level of activity can be controlled by changing the temperature or by adding small amounts of alcohol to make the… read more here.
