Excited to share our latest paper in @softmatter! 🎉 We show how the pressure equation of state of an active suspension can be extracted from its sedimentation profile. Great work by Yunhee, Elijah, and Parvin! 👉 tinyurl.com/active-sedimenta…

One does not simply compute the equation of state of a suspension of active colloids. But with sedimentation equilibrium… one might. 🧪 Recent preprint from our group — excellent work by Parvin, Yunhee, and Elijah! 📄 arxiv.org/abs/2506.17428

Excited to share our latest work out in @J_A_C_S ! Building off previous observations that oxidative additions to electrophilic metals might be a little different... including evidence for the first Pd(IV)-dihydride. @psu_chemistry pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102…

New publication from our group @softbiocol led by Vivien Willems. Check the group Twitter thread about it below👇 Very excited to get this work published! A step forward on active soft microsystems Thanks to all the colleagues who made this happen! @crpp @univbordeaux
Publication Alert!🎉 🚀🧪 New paper out! @softmatter We show that Janus lipid vesicles can self-propel under AC electric fields, exhibiting run-and-tumble dynamics—just like bacteria, but driven by membrane-phase behavior. 👉 Read here: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…

🚶‍♂️ Hate waiting in line? So do active particles! Our new @JChemPhys paper shows how self-propulsion reshapes single-file diffusion. Great work by Akin Akintunde, Parvin Bayati, and @HyeongjooRow. 🔗 doi.org/10.1063/5.0248772 #ActiveMatter #SoftMatter #Physics

Thrilled to see this paper published @ScienceAdvances! In it, we describe how growing bacterial colonies form metastable “living gels” in polymeric fluids. Check it out at doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.adq77…! A summary is at cce.caltech.edu/news-and-eve… as well as in the tweetorial below ⬇️
Excited to release our latest work, led by Sebastian Gonzalez La Corte (@sesgonzalez) with Ned Wingreen: doi.org/10.1101/2024.04.18.5…! Here, we show that polymers unexpectedly sculpt proliferating bacterial colonies into spaghetti-like "cables".🦠🍝 Tweetorial follows! [1/10]

The paper that launched the field of self-propelled autonomous nanomotors — extremely small particles that can move on their own — was written by our own Ayusman Sen, Verne M. Willaman Professor of Chemistry, and is celebrating its 20th anniversary. #PennStateChemistry

We had the absolute pleasure of hosting Nobel laureate Stan Whittingham @binghamtonu this week for the Allcock Alumni Lectureship!! Our faculty and students engaged in discussions about his work on lithium-ion batteries, and shared updates on our department's activities. ⬇️

Radial gradients reveal unique dynamics in phoretic Janus particles. This study uncovers circular orbits to stationary states, offering control at the microscale. #ActiveMatter #Colloids @StewMallory @psu_chemistry @PSUScience Read it here 🔗 pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102…
