Happy to share Avital Wagner’s recent paper nature.com/articles/s4146… showing how guanine crystal morphology is controlled by soft, intra-organelle templates, with many parallels to melanin morphogenesis Ben-Gurion University of the Negev Nature Communications #biomineralization אוניברסיטת בן-גוריון בנגב


So excited to share this one - A tunable reflector enabling crustaceans to see but not be seen Science Magazine a fantastic collaboration between Keshet Shavit, Avital Wagner Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and J. Haataja Lukas Schertel Cambridge University and Val Altounian science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…



Beautiful piece. Optics, chemistry and biology; all in one. Keep rocking Tali Lemcoff


Happy to see our cover out! Artistry by J. Haataja Nature Portfolio Tali Lemcoff Lukas Schertel VignoliniLab Nature Photonics

Happy to share our first paper of 2024 - a proof of concept showing structure determination of biogenic crystals from 3D Electron Diffraction pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… Crystal Growth & Design / ACS ACS Publications Avital Wagner Noam Pinsk Laura Samperisi


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…



Love how Prakhar Gupta is using his platform to become the voice of India. This is important because most english speaking Indian sources westerns rely on are anti-India.

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…

Crystallization by particle attachment—Many inorganic materials are known to crystallize through a "nonclassical" process involving particle attachment; however, our understanding of this mechanism at the molecular level is limited. Now, Indri, Salvalaglio Matteo Salvalaglio, Palmer,
