As scientists we know the Climate Emergency is upon us. We need to act. So, how many meetings should we fly to per year? If it’s <12 hours by train should we refuse to fly? Should we let postdocs go (for their careers) in our stead? Are we boycotting les Treilles and SLB support?

📢📢 We can now directly measure the forces exerted by an active nematic by photo-polymerizing elastic inclusions in situ! A great approach to probe #activematter More details here! 📃 arxiv.org/abs/2307.11587 Universitat de Barcelona La UB Divulga SOC&SAM research group

Thermal agitation is slow and ineffective when it comes to self-assembling soft materials. Can active baths do better? Today in Nature Physics, we show that a (chiral) active bath can rapidly⚡️build extraordinary structures unreachable to thermal physics👽 nature.com/articles/s4156…

This is unbelievably good (the German translation).

4️⃣ ways in which we use our land, water & food that have the largest potential to scale up #ClimateAction: ✅ Reduce conversion of natural ecosystems ✅ Carbon sequestration in agriculture ✅Ecosystem restoration, afforestation, reforestation ✅Shift to sustainable healthy diets

1/2 Assembly of🕷️silk in hydrodynamic flow is a complex multiscale problem. We have combined all-atom MD-simulations with coarse-graining and MPCD-simulations to show that higher flow leads to more reversible kinetics.
