Authors propose pneumatic torsion strips inspired by Möbius strips, enabling localized, strain-free bending with tunable elastic energy for shape morphing. @natcomms.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Driving a #colloidal particle through a time-modulated, non-sinusoidal optical landscape, the authors report emergence of fractional Shapiro steps and uncover their microscopic mechanisms, enabling precise control through #optical potential design @natcomms.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The authors demonstrate that rising bubbles deform the entrapped gas layer on nano/microstructured surfaces, enabling ultrafast and stable capture via liquid film rupture and three-phase contact line hysteresis. out now @natcomms.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Hi everyone, I’ll be attending the “Physics for Future” event hosted by the Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine at the University of Luxembourg @uni.lu on 14–15 May 2025. I’d love to hear about your exciting work in soft matter physics—feel free to reach out!

I am very happy to share that my work on active deformations of lipid vesicles is finally out in Nature Physics. A nicer thread+movies coming soon, in the meantime: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Thx to Andreas, Hammad, Dmitry, Gerhard @laynefrechette.bsky.social and everybody else who contributed!

Any recommendations for a good international fluid dynamics conference? #SoftMatter #Fluids #Physics

Promoting scientific literacy and inspiring young minds through science outreach helps create a more informed and inquisitive society. It encourages evidence-based thinking and fosters a deeper appreciation for the role of science in everyday life.

“We show how rhetoric around ‘open’ AI is frequently wielded in ways that exacerbate rather than reduce concentration of power in the AI sector” Why ‘open’ AI systems are actually closed, and why this matters - a Perspective in Nature 🧪 @natureportfolio.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A study in Nature Communications suggests that southward outflow of Arctic freshwater supressed Nordic Seas deep-water formation and northward oceanic heat transport during the early Last Interglacial. 🧪 🌊

Before I start posting about newer results on this platform, here is a video from our most recent paper -- www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The authors discuss the extremely quick bounce seen when #droplets containing a particle impact a surface, achieving a contact time of only 0.3 milliseconds with an elastic particle and 0.05 milliseconds with a rigid #particle #GettingApplied #Softmatter www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The authors report on #biaxial properties in a system of #colloidal rods with designed surface anchoring doped into a chiral #nematic host. #GettingApplied #Softmatter #LiquidCrystals www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Cover letter is your chance to provide key info that helps editors understand the significance of your work. I am surprised by how many #academics either underestimate its importance or are unsure how to write one. If you have any questions about a CL, feel free to reach out. #publicsation #Physics

Nature asked more than 1,000 lab leaders about the state of hiring in academia and industry. Join a one-hour webinar on 19 November to hear what they said. Register here: go.nature.com/4fwhhLY #AcademicSky

This study investigates the factors affecting #swarm movement, revealing that solutal buoyancy drives their motion, with potential #biomedical applications like targeted drug delivery #Swarms #collectivebehaviour #nanomotors www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Are there any soft matter physics researchers here? I am an Editor at Nature Communications and handle soft matter physics manuscripts. I will share published articles here to enhance their visibility. I look forward to more engaging scientific discussions. #SoftMatterPhysics #Academia #Physics

We said hello to our new followers last week, but there's many more of you now! Welcome! We've created a starter pack for you, which is a work in progress. We'd also love to hear from you about your work we've published or what kind of things you want us to post.

What can we learn from swarm behavior and implement it to perform diverse tasks in various environments? @natureportfolio.bsky.social calls for papers on Swarm Intelligence #Swarm #intelligence #Collective #Collections at Nature Communications. www.nature.com/collections/...
