Fresh off the press! Jeongeun and Yoël’s work on the lightning-fast actuation of the Venus flytrap. 🪴⚡ No muscles. No nerves. So what powers the trap? Cutting the trap suppresses its mechanical amplifier, the snap-through instability, and reveals the active motion. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

New research in Science reveals that the Venus flytrap's snap is triggered by a rapid softening of the epidermal cell walls, uncovering the physical mechanism behind this remarkable movement. Learn more in this week's issue: scim.ag/4fXQ9sn

Avec @shamtlili.bsky.social nous sommes allés à la rencontre d'une classe de CE1 ✨ à #Marseille 15eme. Au programme: observations de tardigrades 💧🐻 et d'autres organismes vivants dans les mousses 🌿🔬 Merci au dispositif #SciencesDansLesClasses et à @ibdm.bsky.social pour le matériel🔬🧪

Super happy to share the exciting work of Emma Legait, showing how neighbourhood composition determines cancer stem cell fate in hierarchical tumours. A great and long-standing collaboration with @cedricmaurange.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
