Solids deform and fluids flow, but soft glassy materials, such as emulsions, foams, suspensions, and pastes, exhibit an intricate mix of solid and liquid-like behavior. While much progress has been made to understand their elastic (small…
It has been recently shown [E. Lerner, G. D\"uring, and E. Bouchbinder, Phys. Rev. Lett. 117, 035501 (2016)] that the non-phononic vibrational modes of structural glasses at low-frequencies $\omega$ are quasi-localized and follow a…
