Our latest work sheds light on the striking similarities between the non-linear mechanical responses of particle-filled polymer hydrogels and biological tissues - out now in Nature Physics: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Strain-stiffening universality in composite hydrogels and soft tissues - Nature Physics

The nonlinear mechanical properties of soft biological tissues and composites are poorly understood. Their strain stiffening under compression and shear is now found to be universal, and follows from ...

"What's the science behind the stretchiness of melted cheese?" 🧀🍕 I pursued this question as a PhD intern a few yrs ago at a (former) food-tech company Motif, where I worked on a plant-based cheese which could mimic the stretchiness of real cheese

Motif Adds New Tech to Bring That Elusive Stretch to Plant-Based Cheese

Motif Foodworks, the food technology spinout of synthetic biology unicorn Gingko Bioworks, announced today that it has added a couple more tools to its plant-based food technology toolbox that will…

Despite the current uncertainty of being a scientist, I am excited to share our manuscript demonstrating an interesting mechanism of how swirling motion of breast cancer cells align collagen fibers radially at the tumor-stroma interface to enable their invasion (1/11) @thechaudhurilab.bsky.social
