our PREPRINT is out! In collaboration with Daniela Kraft and Thomas Weikl, we have developed a model system to study the interactions between membrane deformations. The method is simply powerful and straightforward! I love it!

We are looking for a new colleague! 🥳Are you an experimentalist doing cutting-edge soft matter research? And do you want to start your own group in a stimulating environment? 👉Apply now: nature.com/naturecareers/…

Vandaag presenteerden Wim van Saarloos en Zorana Zeravcic hun nieuwe boek over Soft matter. Eerste ontvangers waren Daan Frenkel en Koninklijke Nederlandse Akademie van Wetenschappen president Marileen Dogterom! press.princeton.edu/books/hardcove… (coauteur Vincenzo Vitelli was er helaas niet bij) Leiden Institute of Physics (LION)

We had an excellent afternoon session to continue with the amazing morning rhythm from Daniela Kraft Andela Saric Christina Kurzthaler and Datta Lab Erwin Schrödinger Institute CECAM #transportinsoftmatter

The intentions of the new government to significantly cut funding for education and research do not only worry me, but also many high tech companies... news.pressmailings.com/hollandhightec…

Do you love science and writing about it such that everyone can understand it? Then the Leiden Institute of Physics has an opening for you! medewerkers.universiteitleiden.nl/vacatures/2024…

Riedel et al. show that bent rod shapes, especially semicircles, significantly promote #clustering even at low densities, driven by interlocking mechanisms and cluster stability, Out now Nature Communications #Colloids #GettingApplied nature.com/articles/s4146…

From two to many colloids interacting by lipid membrane deformations! #MyACSCover Ali Azadbakht @azadbakht.bsky.social

It is such a pleasure to share that Vera's work on how dumbbell particles of different length trap dislocations in 2D crystals of repulsive spheres. Now out in PRL! journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1…

With academic twitter slowly coming to an end, where will you go to?

Anisotropic active particles cannot always simply turn to change their orientation after having reached a surface: as we show for active colloidal cubes, this can lead to several populations with different particles speeds. Now out in Langmuir! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Interested in doing a PhD in my group? I have an opening to work on nanomedicine-membrane interactions. Apply here: careers.universiteitleiden.nl/job/Leiden-PhD…

Floppy lattices are exciting model systems, however, so far, we have been making them by optical tweezers. Our newest work by Yogesh Shelke and Daniel Pearce with in Nature Communications shows how to use self-assembly through tuning of the kinetic pathways! nature.com/articles/s4146…
