Swirls in sheared granular media – they exist and depend on the volume fraction. Dong Wang, Joshua A. Dijksman, Jonathan Barés, Hu Zheng — Powders & Grains 2021 – 9th International Conference on Micromechanics on Granular Media (2021) 10.1051/epjconf/202124902010

The title speaks a thousand words. Well only seven, but that’s enough in this case. Raisa E.D. Rudge, Karlijn Theunissen, Jason R. Stokes, Elke Scholten, Joshua A. Dijksman — Physical Review Materials 5 (2021) 10.1103/PhysRevMaterials.5.055604

Soft probabilistic fasteners (aka Velcro) can be made. Preeti Sharma, Vittorio Saggiomo, Vincent van der Doef, Marleen Kamperman, Joshua A. Dijksman — Biointerphases 16 (2021) 10.1116/6.0000634

Chemistry is cool. WHo would have thought that changing a side group on a polymeric component can change the rheology of the whole network by adjusting the exchange rate kinetics? Sybren K. Schoustra, Joshua A. Dijksman, Han Zuilhof, Maarten M. J. Smulders — Chemical Science 12, 293–302 (2021) 10.1039/d0sc05458e

Rotational dynamics of individual particles in sheared granular materials is surprisingly “thermal” and indicative of mesoscopic mechanisms that underpin concepts such as shear jamming. Here we reanalyzed existing data set with the help of a very multidisciplinary team. Dong Wang, Nima Nejadsadeghi, Yan Li, Shashi Shekhar, Anil Misra, Joshua A. Dijksman — Soft Matter (2021)Continue reading “Rotational diffusion and rotational correlations in frictional amorphous disk packings under shear”

Geometry affects mechanics, also in substrates. P. van Assenbergh, Frank Haring, Joshua A. Dijksman, Dimitra Dodou — Advanced Materials Interfaces 7 (2020) 10.1002/admi.202001173

Diffusion is a tensor. And that matters. Dong Wang, Joshua A. Dijksman, Jonathan Barés, Jie Ren, Hu Zheng — Physical Review Letters 125 (2020) 10.1103/physrevlett.125.138001

Sometimes authors make silly mistakes, and then these mistakes need to be corrected. Joshua A. Dijksman, Shomeek Mukhopadhyay, Cameron Gaebler, Thomas P. Witelski, Robert P. Behringer — Physical Review E 101 (2020) 10.1103/physreve.101.059902

MRI is a great tool to measure the flow behavior of all kinds of complex fluids. Tatiana Nikolaeva, Frank J. Vergeldt, Raquel Serial, Joshua A. Dijksman, Paul Venema, Adrian Voda, John van Duynhoven, Henk Van As — Analytical Chemistry 92, 4193–4200 (2020) 10.1021/acs.analchem.9b03216
