Thrilled to see this paper published @softmatter: doi.org/10.1039/D3SM01470C If you like soft mechanics & hydrogels, check it out!

Excited to release arxiv.org/abs/2307.11827, led by @abigail_plummer & former undergrad Caroline Adkins in collaboration with Andrej Košmrlj! We studied how the growth/expansion of a body is altered (often in surprising ways!) by obstructions. 🧽🎆 Tweetorial follows... [1/11]

How should we model the dynamics of root growth as it turns towards gravity? As physicists, we tried using a damped harmonic oscillator. And it works! In small angles. Check out our new @JXBot paper, with @mthrvr and @MerozLab: doi.org/10.1093/jxb/erad383

Amorphous, complex matter can store long-lasting memories of past mechanical perturbations. We show that these can be tracked and quantified using a global observable - just measure dissipation! journals.aps.org/prl/abstrac…

Beautiful work from @Gulliver_lab, with contribution by our lab member Dor Shohat! Dor’s stay at @ESPCI_Paris was funded by the Chateaubriand Fellowship awarded by the French Embassy and the French Institute in Israel.
In @NaturePhysics , researchers from @Gulliver_lab (@CNRS @ESPCI_Paris ) described the collective actuation of an elastic network of mini robots. Really elegant and smart work from @odauchot @BaconnierP , congrats! ➡️ PR: espci.psl.eu/sites/www.espci… ➡️ 📜 :doi.org/10.1038/s41567-022-0…

geometric frustration plus prestress produce a metamaterial that deforms differently depending on the sequence of (same) operations acting on it !!! doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2204.… with @cbrady451 @ComplexLab_TAU @ChavivaSirote @YLahini @CRSTNNSL @TelAvivUni @FulbrightIL

Happy to join the wonderful biosoft retreat.
The @BioSoft3 center’s two-day retreat is off to a great start! 98 participants from different faculties across campus meet to learn about each other’s research and initiate collaborations.
