Happy 99th birthday to MPI-DS Göttingen. Next year, on 16th July 2025, we will celebrate its 100th anniversary and a long legacy in dynamics and self-organization that started with fluid dynamics and turbulence and branched out to other fields encompassing physics, chemistry, and biology.

Being stuck in a local energy minimum 🪫 - this is a common problem on molecular scale organization. Scientists around Ramin Golestanian now proposed a mechanism to escape these traps and to overcome the energy barrier. ↗️🚧 Living Matter Physics --> ds.mpg.de/4061286/240725…

Applied mechanical forces can reduce the energy barrier in the reaction free energy. This and many other results in our nonlinear response theory of molecular machines with Ramin Golestanian and Jaime Agudo-Canalejo Living Matter Physics MPI-DS Göttingen UCL. Just Published in EPL. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.120…

Microscale swimming gains attention for bio-medical applications. Using a three-sphere model, we study the effect of axisymmetric confinement on low Reynolds number swimming via theory and simulations Living Matter Physics MPI-DS Göttingen Santa Clara Univ Ebru Demir Lehigh University aippub.org/3XkBcXw

Living Matter Physics at the foot of Zugspitze: Great science and great hikes at this year’s Living Matter Physics retreat. Many thanks to everyone who contributed and special thanks to Umweltforschungsstation Schneefernerhaus for the very interesting tour!





We are inviting applications for Postdoctoral Researcher positions in Active Matter and Statistical Physics Living Matter Physics MPI-DS Göttingen. The research area will build on ongoing projects in the department, such as non-reciprocal active matter. Info on how to apply: ds.mpg.de/4068189/job_fu…

Thermodynamic inference of correlations in nonequilibrium collective dynamics, Michalis Chatzittofi et al Mike Chatzittofi Ramin Golestanian Jaime Agudo-Canalejo Living Matter Physics MPI-DS Göttingen UCL IPLS #Biophysics #SoftMatter #StatisticalPhysics go.aps.org/3Np0y0G


New paper w/ Mike Chatzittofi Ramin Golestanian! When the precision of a molecular machine is too good to be true, it could be that there is not a single machine but a whole team behind it. Stochastic thermodynamics helps us infer how big the team is, and how strongly it cooperates.

The latest paper from the PhD research of Mike Chatzittofi and supervised by Jaime Agudo-Canalejo and me.

Hot off the press: In a collaboration between Stefan Karpitschka's group and several people from Living Matter Physics, we show how filament motility, reversals at illumination boundaries and filament interactions work together to create emergent structures.

Ein Lichtblick 💡 für das Verständnis von Selbstorganisation: Cyanobakterien sind im Kollektiv in der Lage, komplexe Strukturen zu bilden, obwohl sich ein einzelnes Filament nur vorwärts und rückwärs bewegen kann. 🦠🧫 @Cbehav Universität Konstanz 👇 ds.mpg.de/4073141/241112…

Scientists from our Department 'Living Matter Physics' developed a new model on organization of matter: non-reciprocal interactions play an important role in creating structures on a higher level - and eventually in the formation of life. Living Matter Physics ds.mpg.de/4075605/241212…
