Excited to share the latest work from the RheoDLS lab (Ranjini Bandyopadhyay) in Soft Matter! Using optical tweezer electrophoresis, we explored clay nanoplatelet adsorption on latex microspheres and gained new insights into colloidal stabilization. pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/Art…

In a study published in Cancer Cell, researchers from Samuels - Lab manipulated cancer cells into making themselves visible to the immune system, creating a new approach that gives hope to patients with previously untreatable disease>>bit.ly/cancer-expose-… yardena samuels

Interesting new paper showing that flow patterns in collectively moving cells—from kidney cells to bacteria—exhibit conformal invariance, all fitting Schramm–Loewner evolution. Surprising level of universality across systems. nature.com/articles/s4156…

A new manuscript investigating the impact of pNIPAM microgels softness on size, electrophoretic mobility and transition temperature is out on JCP. doi.org/10.1063/5.0269…

The Beauty of our planet Earth 🧵 1. At first glance, this stunning image may seem like a giant tree emerging from the Earth —but it's actually a river delta, where water becomes nature’s brush, painting intricate landscapes.

Vaibhav Parmar's just submitted PhD thesis titled 'Experimental studies of the interfacial and structural dynamics of non-equilibrium colloidal and athermal materials' studies cracking, drying, adsorption and interfacial instabilities. Great job Vaibhav Parmar!

Solute transport in porous media is often modeled with constant dispersivity, but is this valid for shear-thinning fluids? Al-Qenae et al. show that the viscosity varies across pore spaces, enhancing dispersion, and present a model that accounts for it 🔗 go.aps.org/45IH15F

Self-organized criticality can occur in cellular systems, but its origins remain unclear. Now it is shown that cytoskeletal criticality is influenced by the F-actin architecture and myosin active stress. nature.com/articles/s4156…

Tissues are usually modelled as viscoelastic materials. Now it is shown that intercellular fluid flow, rather than viscoelastic behaviour, dominates the immediate mechanical response of tissues. nature.com/articles/s4156…

Under the leadership of Hon’ble PM Shri @NarendraModi, India accelerates the fight against Sickle Cell disease. #RRI scientists develop a low-cost, high-throughput device, enabling early detection and precise screening across all age groups. As a part of #SickleCellMission2047,

A Short Note on Experimental Physics: Experimental physics is one of the crucial ingredients of physics. There are at least two major tasks within its realm. The first is to examine nature through observation. These observations can then be extrapolated into systematic

IISc researchers, with a biotech & healthcare company, have developed a novel bilayered hemostat that rapidly stops bleeding. Called Fibroplug, it combines silk and chitosan foam for greater efficiency. Vivek Mishra Read more: kernel.iisc.ac.in/bilayered-hemo… #IIScresearch
