Digital stiffness programmability is fulfilled with a heterogeneous mechanical metamaterial. The prototype consists of an elastomer matrix containing tessellations of diamond shaped cavities selectively confined with semi-rigid plastic beam inserts along their diagonals. Unit-cell perturbations by placing or removing each insert reshape the global constitutive relation whose lower and upper bounds corresponding to the configurations with all holes empty and all inserts in place, respectively, are significantly distant from each other thanks to a gap between the moduli of the elastomer and the inserts. Bidirectional operation is achieved by mixing insert orientations where longitudinal inserts enhance the macroscopic stiffness in compression and transverse ones tension. Arranged digital representations of such local insert states form the explicit encoding of global patterns so that systematic stiffness programming with minimal changes in mass is enabled both statically and in situ. These characteristics establish a new paradigm in actively tuning vibration isolation systems according to shifts in the resonance of base structures.

In this work we investigate the use of nanoporous carrier as drug delivery systems for hydrophobic molecules. By studying a model system made of porous silicon loaded with beta-carotene, we unveil a fundamental limitation of these carriers that is du
e to heterogeneous nucleation that imposes a tradeoff between the amount of drug loaded and the reproducibility of the release. Nonetheless, such issue is an alternative and improved method, compared with the standard induction time, to monitor the formation of heterogenously nucleated aggregates.
We study the buckling of a one fiber composite whose matrix stiffness is slightly dependent on the compressive force. We show that the equilibrium curves of the system exhibit a limit load when the induced stiffness parameter gets bigger than a thres
hold. This limit load increases when increasing the stiffness parameter and is related to a possible localized path in the post-buckling domain. Such a change in the maximum load may be very desirable from a structural stand point.
A range of technologies require the directed motion of nanoscale droplets on solid substrates. A way of realizing this effect is durotaxis, whereby a stiffness gradient of a substrate can induce directional motion without requiring an energy source.
Here, we report on the results of extensive molecular dynamics investigations of droplets on a surface with varying stiffness. We find that durotaxis is enhanced by increasing the stiffness gradient and, also, by increased wettability of the substrate, in particular, when droplet size decreases. We anticipate that our study will provide further insights into the mechanisms of nanoscale directional motion.
In this work we characterize the configurational space of a short chain of colloidal particles as function of the range of directional and heterogeneous isotropic interactions. The individual particles forming the chain are colloids decorated with pa
tches that act as interaction sites between them. We show, using computer simulations, that it is possible to sample the relative probability of occurrence of a structure with a sequence in the space of all possible realizations of the chain. The results presented here represent a first attempt to map the space of possible configurations that a chain of colloidal particles may adopt. Knowledge of such a space is crucial for a possible application of colloidal chains as models for designable self-assembling systems.
Renewal-anomalous-heterogeneous files are solved. A simple file is made of Brownian hard spheres that diffuse stochastically in an effective 1D channel. Generally, Brownian files are heterogeneous: the spheres diffusion coefficients are distributed a
nd the initial spheres density is non-uniform. In renewal-anomalous files, the distribution of waiting times for individual jumps is exponential as in Brownian files, yet obeys: {psi}_{alpha} (t)~t^(-1-{alpha}), 0<{alpha}<1. The file is renewal as all the particles attempt to jump at the same time. It is shown that the mean square displacement (MSD) in a renewal-anomalous-heterogeneous file, <r^2>, obeys, <r^2>~[<r^2>_{nrml}]^{alpha}, where <r^2 >_{nrml} is the MSD in the corresponding Brownian file. This scaling is an outcome of an exact relation (derived here) connecting probability density functions of Brownian files and renewal-anomalous files. It is also shown that non-renewal-anomalous files are slower than the corresponding renewal ones.
