Well done to @KalilaCook for presenting her work on Modelling Network Formation in Protein Hydrogels by Cluster Aggregation Kinetics at the @SOFI_CDT Showcase.

Happy to get this one in @PhysRevLett: A numerical study of the viscoelasticity of spring networks that are both isostatic (marginally rigid) and fractal.

Geometric, nonlinear rigidity in #SoftMatter: A floppy, random spring network develops a finite shear modulus μ when length-preserving (non-affine) bond rotations can no longer accommodate an imposed strain γ and load-bearing paths (states of self-stress, SSS) are 'pulled taut'.
20 funded PhD places in the Soft Matter and Functional Interfaces (SOFI) are available with places in Leeds, Durham and Edinburgh. Application deadline Nov. 28th; please see for info:

We are exploring the networks that form in cross-linked protein hydrogels and the 'space' around the network.
In the image from @BenTriesToTweet below the aqua coloured spheres illustrate the pores surrounding the protein network.

Consider the blurred lines between living and non-living matter and the ethical implications for synthetic biology and beyond.

I would wish everyone a Merry Christmas, but given the situation (in Europe at least), here's a picture of a bacterial biofilm coloured to look a bit like a snowy forest instead ...
It's blog post 12 in our #12daysofHPC!🎄
Today we've got a blog from @DavidHead100 on using the HPC to study bacterial biofilms!

It's paper time again!
How far can we get modelling protein networks as pseudo-colloidal systems? Hopefully a bit further if we include explicit binding sites on the protein surface!
