Congratulations to Ariel García Fleitas for his #paper on the "Influence of structural colour on the #photoprotective mechanism in the gametophyte phase of the red #alga Chondrus crispus"! 🎉 This is the result of strong collaboration within the BEEP 🌈 😄 doi.org/10.1098/rsif.2…

My procedural skin model is now available on my Gumroad to download for free 😊 ryomizutagraphics.gumroad.com/l/procedural_s… A YT tutorial is also up to show you how to get started: youtu.be/-Q7RyG6U2os #b3d #sciart #Science #geometrynodes

Our wonderful microscope Light Field has taken some 3D images of a white blood cell. It uses a hexagon of lenses to 'peek round corners' and image an entire cell fast. #Chemistry Nature Communications ch.cam.ac.uk/news/simple-so…

Amazing opportunities for ambitious postdocs in Israel - check it out! I would be happy to host biologists, bio-chemists and chemists on some very exciting projects in my lab! As an Azrieli Faculty Fellow alumni, I can't speak highly enough of this organization! It would be much

Fantastic work on how scattering can boost growth efficiency in algal photobioreactors.🧪 Thank you VignoliniLab Daniel Wangpraseurt MicroEcology Lab for the collaboration!🤝 And here comes the twist: Seprify cellulose materials play a key role! 🌿 pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

We demonstrate scalable biopolymer optical fibers with 15 times higher maximum strain than commercial glass optical fibers for rapid breath and touch sensing. @TampereUni Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces Materials Science and Environmental Engineering PREIN Photonics Research and Innovation FinnCERES Zhipei sun pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Check out our new paper which rationalizes how molecular dopants (e.g., hypoxanthine) effect guanine crystal morphology. Dopants may be used to regulate the cross-sectional shapes of reflective biogenic crystals. Aurora Chemistry of Materials Ben-Gurion University of the Negev pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Creating feedback loops in hydrogels granted €1.5M by European Research Council (ERC). Congratulations to Research Fellow Hang Zhang of the Department of Applied Physics! 🏆 The loops provide new ways to design soft materials for fields like medicine and robotics 👉 bit.ly/3XhIKsG

Congrats to the Vignolini group, whose sustainable cellulose glitter which is being commercialised by spinout Sparxell has been found to be environmentally safe in a new paper in Chemosphere. lnkd.in/e88fuHGh

Check out my interview on Tgr Leonardo —Italian science news program—about the research that I'll be starting at the Università della Calabria (subtitles generated with AI). ☀️ 🔬more about my research and the project: giannijacucci.com

Very happy to see this collaborative work out J. Am. Chem. Soc. - Shashanka Indri Florian Dietrich and Matteo Salvalaglio use in situ cryo-EM and unbiased MD simulations to reveal the ‘particle attachment’ crystallization mechanism of guanine Ben-Gurion University of the Negev pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Ready for summer? 🌞

Imagine building a molecule like stacking Lego blocks, Cambridge chemists have developed a powerful new method to build complex molecules one carbon at a time. This could help drug discovery and design. ch.cam.ac.uk/news/cambridge…
