Plastic deformation of heterogeneous solid structures is often characterized by random intermittent local plastic events. On the mesoscale this feature can be represented by a spatially fluctuating local yield threshold. Here we study the…

In two-dimensional tissues, such as developing germ layers, pair-wise forces (or active stresses) arise from the contractile activity of the cytoskeleton, with dissipation provided by the three-dimensional surroundings. We show analytically…

Evidence suggests that the transport rate of a passive particle at long timescales is enhanced due to interactions with the surrounding active ones in a size- and composition-dependent manner. Using a system of particles with different…
