Our @natphys.nature.com paper is now out!
We find that defect creation & annihilation in bacteria and cells collectives spontaneously break mirror symmetry—unpredicted by active nematic theory.

We created 'super ice' or BioPykrete—a new material that's 10x stronger and absorbs 70x more energy than ordinary ice! 🧪💪

Scientists create 'super ice' that is ten times stronger and far harder to shatter
Ice is cheap, abundant and surprisingly strong. But it has one major weakness: Cracks can race through it, causing it to shatter without warning. Now, scientists have developed a new material that cou...
