Topology Reveals Hidden Rules Of Amorphous Materials: Softness From Hierarchical Structures
New topological lens explains why some regions of amorphous materials soften more easily Topology is transforming our understanding of materials that have long frustrated scientists: amorphous solids such as glass, rubber, and certain plastics. A recent multidisciplinary study uses persistent homology, a mathematical tool from topology, to uncover the hidden hierarchical structures that govern mechanical…
