Rheological matchup of real and plant-based mayo: gel strength, strain overshoot, and yielding, plus the extended Cox–Merz rule - now published in Soft Matter pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…
🎉Back by popular demand! The Summer School on #SoftMatter returns to @IES_Cargese in Corsica 🌊☀️in July 2026. A unique gathering where soft matter physics meets sensory perception 🌀👂👀! 📚Program, list of amazing speakers & registration: 👉 softsensory.sciencesconf.org… cc @CNRS
Getting excited for the in-person Future of Rheology session at our Annual Meeting #SoR2025 in Santa Fe where past speakers will reprise their virtual talks. The Future of Rheology is bright! Thank you @SandiaLabs for your sponsorship!
SoR is excited to announce that Safa Jamali is the Society of Rheology 2025 Metzner awardee for contributions to the understanding of #suspensions, attractive #colloids, and #machine_learning techniques in rheology. We will celebrate Safa at our annual meeting this October!
Attending the APS Global Physics Summit this coming week? Come check out some of the work we do in @Odeslab at UIC! Looking forward to a great conference - see you there!
Join us Thursday, February 27th for another installment of our Future of Rheology seminar series. We will hear about the rheology of real and vegan mayo by Nadia Nikolova and rigid clusters in shear thickening suspensions by Michel Orsi.
The 2024 #NobelPrize laureates in chemistry Demis Hassabis and John Jumper have successfully utilised artificial intelligence to predict the structure of almost all known proteins.
In 2020, Hassabis and Jumper presented an AI model called AlphaFold2. With its help, they have been able to predict the structure of virtually all the 200 million proteins that researchers have identified. Since their breakthrough, AlphaFold2 has been used by more than two million people from 190 countries. Among a myriad of scientific applications, researchers can now better understand antibiotic resistance and create images of enzymes that can decompose plastic.
