Molecular modelling of odd viscoelastic fluids
We consider an active, stochastic microscopic model of particles suspended in a fluid and show that the coarse-grained description of this model renders odd viscoelasticity.

Jamming Transition In Non-Spherical Particle Systems: Pentagons Versus Disks [PDF]
We investigate the jamming transition in a quasi-2D granular material composed of regular pentagons or disks subjected to quasistatic uniaxial compression.

General theory of the viscosity of liquids and solids from nonaffine particle motions
A new microscopic formula for the viscosity of liquids and solids is derived rigorously from a first-principles (microscopically reversible) Hamiltonian for particle-bath atomistic motion.

Soft Condensed Matter (Materia Condensata Soffice) [PDF]
This article was written for a multi-volume History of Science, and published in Italian translation: Storia della Scienza, Volume IX, La Grande Scienza, pp 645-656 (published by Istituto della Enciclopedia Italiana, Fondata da Giovanni Treccani, 2003). In it, I describe the evolution of soft matter physics as a discipline during the 20th century.

Using electrowetting to control interface motion in patterned microchannels [PDF]
We use mesoscale simulations to demonstrate the feasibility of a novel microfluidic valve, which exploits Gibbs' pinning in microchannels patterned by posts or ridges, together with electrowetting.

Confinement induces conformational transition of semiflexible polymer rings to figure eight form [PDF]
Employing Monte Carlo simulations of semiflexible polymer rings in weak spherical confinement a conformational transition to figure eight shaped, writhed configurations is discovered and quantified.

Should classical density functional theory be based on forces? A comparative study
We re-examine results obtained with the recently proposed density functional theory framework based on forces (force-DFT) [Tschopp et al., Phys. Rev. E 106, 014115 (2022)].

Colloidal Inclusions in Liquid Crystals [PDF]
We outline the necessary background to understand the interaction of colloids in liquid crystals through boundary conditions and topology.

Estimating the density scaling exponent of viscous liquids from specific heat and bulk modulus data
It was recently shown by computer simulations that a large class of liquids exhibits strong correlations in their thermal fluctuations of virial and potential energy [Pedersen et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 015701 (2008)].
