Active nematic defects and epithelial morphogenesis
Inspired by recent experiments that highlight the role of nematic defects in the morphogenesis of epithelial tissues, we develop a minimal framework to study the dynamics of an active curved surface driven by its nematic texture.

Supersolidity of glasses [PDF]
Supersolidity of glasses is explained as a property of an unusual state of condensed matter. This state is essentially different from both normal and superfluid solid states. The mechanism of the phenomenon is the transfer of mass by tunneling two level systems.

How Surface Roughness Affects the Interparticle Interactions at a Liquid Interface
Shapes of colloids matter at liquid interfaces. We explore the interactions between rough-surfaced nanocolloids at the air--water interface through the compaction of monolayers experimentally and numerically.

On the Concept of Static Structure Factor [PDF]
We clarify the confusion in the expression of the static structure factor S(k) in the study of condensed matters and discuss its explicit form that can be directly used in calculations and computer simulations.
