*How can you perform _nonlinear_ computations using a _linear_ system?* Several papers from various groups have recently tackled this question. In a News & Views out today, I introduce one of these papers (but also mention the others): doi.org/10.1038/s41567…

In intracellular trafficking, the ESCRT machinery mediates membrane scission of the multivesicular bodies (MVBs). Work @nature proposes that, in plant cells, this is mediated by biomolecular condensates, and depends on the condensates' physical properties. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Thank you, Schmidt Science Fellows, for creating such a supportive and inspiring community. Throughout the program, we tackled challenging topics on leadership alongside the other fellows.

It was a honor to be in residence at the Rhodes House and Oxford University for the Schmidt Science Fellows Science Leadership Program. I am grateful and humbled to be recognized for this community.

We're so pleased for our 2024 Fellow Charles A. Emogor, PhD , who has been recognized with an international ifaw United Kingdom award for his pangolin conservation work. Charles has just started his interdisciplinary Fellowship journey, we can't wait to see where he takes it bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

How do worms navigate through complex environments? Our latest work from ESoftBio Lab ( Tapa Lab @NCBS ) National Centre for Biological Sciences, co-led by SAHELI DEY and Sree Sreepadmanabh M uncovers a fascinating paradigm exploring how confinement regulates motility in 3D granular matrices! 1/11 📜 tinyurl.com/esoftbio20251

Activity can drive flows: self-driven spinners reveal states from chiral active fluids to twisters. 🌪️ Amazing work led by Panyu, Scott, and Severine. It was a joy to watch the experiments unfold and analyze the flows together. Check out the cover to see how the spinners dance!

Lois Pollack, professor in Cornell AEP, explores how principles of physics are unlocking the mysteries of biological molecules like DNA, RNA, and proteins. youtu.be/4rLZsMjxn-I

人類すごい!

“We have a role to play in making the world a better place.” Thank you to Dan Fletcher Fletcher Lab for hosting and UC Berkeley faculty for compelling sessions on navigating a path in research and entrepreneurship, part of the Science Leadership Program for our 2024 Fellows

Thrilled to see this paper published Journal of Rheology! Check it out at: doi.org/10.1122/8.0000… In it, we describe how changes in rheology influence the unsteady flow of viscoelastic polymer solutions through microfabricated porous media. Summary in the tweetorial below ⬇️

Breaking news: Thousands of researchers and their supporters, including recently fired federal workers, have gathered across the U.S. in response to layoffs and funding cuts ordered by the Trump administration. scim.ag/3FlSKvz

🤯 The world is a fluid.

The flow features of cell monolayers depend on cellular interactions. Now four different types of cell monolayer are shown to exhibit robust conformal invariance that belongs to the percolation universality class. nature.com/articles/s4156…

We may not have really squared the circle — but came close! 😉 In our Nature Physics paper with Nikta Fakhri light-triggered membrane excitability enables programmable shapes — a step toward engineering living matter. nature.com/articles/s4156… #biophysics #syntheticcell #softmatter

We are excited to announce our 2025 Schmidt Science Fellows! 32 early career researchers, nominated by the world’s leading research universities, who will take an interdisciplinary approach to advancing discovery schmidtsciencefellows.org/news/2025-fell…
