From swarming bacteria to tissue cells, living matter defies classic physical models of motion

A new study led by researchers from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) reveals that living matter violates previously known physical principles of symmetry when cellular flows form and break dow...

Glad to be a part of the team! We created 'super ice' or BioPykrete—a new material that's 10x stronger and absorbs 70x more energy than ordinary ice! 🧪💪 @hebrewuniversity.bsky.social @bengurionuniv.bsky.social #Ice Check out the feature article at phys.org/news/2026-09... on Phys.org

Scientists create 'super ice' that is ten times stronger and far harder to shatter

Ice is cheap, abundant and surprisingly strong. But it has one major weakness: Cracks can race through it, causing it to shatter without warning. Now, scientists have developed a new material that cou...

Our @natphys.nature.com paper is now out! We find that defect creation & annihilation in bacteria and cells collectives spontaneously break mirror symmetry—unpredicted by active nematic theory. #softmatter #chiral #ActiveMatter #TopologicalDefects #LivingMatter #CellPolarity rdcu.be/yWTRbT26p9qa
