Today in Science Magazine we report how lipids specialize for life under the crushing pressures of the deep sea and what this means more broadly for the composition of cell membranes (1/n) science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Enjoying the talk of Prof. Zhigang Suo at #ISMC2024.

Possibly the most metal story I ever reported for New Scientist, about the gruesome way leeches attack blackworms named "spiral entombment" newscientist.com/article/244295…

(4/n) For someone to have that level of trust - where the culture around me was not like this.. made me realize something. For the first time I realized that a “teacher” is their to create an environment for us to learn. Before this (JEE culture) was about proving yourself..

With Saad Bhamla, Daehyun Choi, We are organizing a APS DSOFT APS Division of Biological Physics @ApsGsnp focus session, “Elastic Instability in Soft Systems” from elastic instability in living and non-living systems to bio-inspired design. Deadline is Oct 25. Please spread this and join us in California

Our Georgia Tech Frugal Science Academy held the largest gathering of synbio high school students in the southeastern United States. Over 70 students and teachers came to learn about BioBuilder and research opportunities Natalie Kuldell. Lambert iGEM presented. Great day!

#A 5-inch #SoftRobot, inspired by nematodes, can jump 10 feet high without legs by storing and releasing energy through body kinks, offering new possibilities for terrain navigation. @georgiatech Science Robotics doi.org/g9gfzh techxplore.com/news/2025-04-r…

Scientists have uncovered how some parasitic worms bend their bodies to form “kinks” that enable powerful jumps, and used these findings to design a soft #jumping robot. @BhamlaLab Learn more in Science #Robotics: scim.ag/4iDIa1i

A new Science #Robotics study describes a #bioinspired soft #jumper that can leap nearly 25 times its own height and launch itself from the ground and through a 10-foot-high basketball hoop. ChBE @ Georgia Tech scim.ag/4iDIa1i

With Ousmane Kodio, we are delighted to organize a focus session on "Instabilities in Soft Mechanics" at the upcoming American Physical Society Global Physics Summit 2026 in Denver! Sorting category 02 Soft Condensed Matter (APS DSOFT ) Sub-category 02.01.12 Instabilities in Soft Mechanics

Ripple bugs are aquatic insects that can dart across flowing streams with mesmerizing speed and agility. Using high-speed cameras, new research studies the fan structures that these bugs use to dance on water. Learn more: scim.ag/3X21Pzj
