Our recent observations are distinct from conventional active matter. Self-propelled colloidal particles neither secrete inhibitory molecules, nor actively modulate adhesion molecules, which are two key ingredients leading to our observed patterned aggregates. Here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We have written two reviews providing a practical guide and fundamentals of cell migration: (1) How to select an optimal cell migration assay, (2) How to analyze cell migration data. We also added a perspective on AI methods of analysis. Coming out soon in Nature Methods.

New paper just out, as an editor's suggestion in PRL! While looking for the ideal isotropic bandgap material, we actually discovered new structures. These structures lie at the border between order and disorder, and that's good for optics! More about their structure here, tinyurl.com/3aej53ht ⚛️🧪

The 2025 ERC Synergy grants are announced! Lots of work for the panel members 😅 and lots of cool science that I look forward to happen!

We have observed a beautifully strange phenomenon of phase separation by human monocytes placed on soft matrix, which do it for survival. We model it by incorporating the Cahn–Hilliard equation with a Turing mechanism of local activation/global inhibition More here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A chemical extracted from carrot roots helped pave the way for flat-screen TVs, and six other discoveries that unintentionally changed the world. Perfect talking points for when you need to defend basic science, whether it’s to your grumpy uncle or your MP. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Paper has been largely updated with much sounder logic and theory (thank you referee number 3!!!!!!) and I am really truly proud of it now! And also proud to say it's been accepted by Soft Matter✨ You can find it at doi.org/10.1039/D5SM00973A or still on arxiv and Hal.

Metal and mycelium? 🪙 + 🍄‍🟫 ? We grew an insulating mycelium-bound composite around a 3D printed metallic framework to create anisotropic thermal properties ➡️ ideal for macroscopic passive thermoregulation. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Many are painfully aware that the environment within which we function -- as scientists -- needs fixing. We've come up with a proposal for academic renewal. It's not perfect, but its a start. Input, comments, suggestions are welcome. Making a difference matters 👇 doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

www.nature.com/articles/d41... look at the subtitle: which researchers welcome the effort?? Let’s just kill collaboration shall we? Let’s just make sure every paper is a battle. This is not going on the right direction

Félicitations à mes 2 conscrits Anke et José ! Moi aussi j'ai été élu Fellow, mais en chimie et par nos amis britanniques avec lesquels j'avoue être plus proches à la fois géographiquement et philosophiquement que nos collègues d'outre-Atlantique...

José moi je suis impressionné par la qualité de son travail. 68 publications en 25 ans de carrière, mais ~10000 citations, 3 papiers cités >1000 fois, 15 > 100 fois... dans un monde où tout pousse à publier beaucoup de merdes que personne ne lit, bravo à lui d'avoir fait sa carrière à contre-courant
