    Finding defects in glasses through machine learning

    Structural defects control the kinetic, thermodynamic and mechanical properties of glasses. For instance, rare quantum tunneling two-level systems (TLS) govern the physics of glasses at very low temperature. D...

    Multi-component generalized mode-coupling theory: predicting dynamics from structure in glassy mixtures

    The emergence of glassy dynamics and the glass transition in dense disordered systems is still not fully understood theoretically. Mode-coupling theory (MCT) has shown to be effective in describing some of the...

    Rheology, Rupture, Reinforcement and Reversibility: Computational Approaches for Dynamic Network Materials

    The development of high-performance polymeric materials typically involves a trade-off between desirable properties such as processability, recyclability, durability, and strength. Two common strategies in thi...

    Toward the observation of a liquid-liquid phase transition in patchy origami tetrahedra: a numerical study

    We evaluate the phase diagram of a model of tetrameric particles where the arms of the tetrahedra are made by six hard cylinders. An interacting site is present on each one of the four vertices allowing the pa...
