Cool work from Kate Adamala who uses the division mechanism I found during my years at the Max Planck of Colloids and Interfaces (and @dimovalab.bsky.social). Science is best when we share our insights and build on it.

For the very first time, biologists packed nonliving components into a cell-like membrane, piece by piece, and slowly witnessed the bag of molecules start to behave like life. @yaseminsaplakoglu.bsky.social reports: www.quantamagazine.org/for-the-firs...

Recent experimental work from my colleagues showing that halocline boundary layers restrict the movement of box jellyfish. A nice example of how observations in the field can be supported by AI-powered data analysis and models. www.uni-kiel.de/de/detailans... journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/...

Was Quallen am Aufsteigen hindert

Grenzschichten zwischen Süß- und Salzwasser könnten bewegliche Wasserorganismen stärker beeinflussen als bislang angenommen. Kieler Forschende zeigen am Beispiel von Würfelquallen, wie ein physikalisc...

A new twist for DNA and reservoir computing? Our new work: Directed evolution effectively selects for DNA based physical reservoir computing networks capable of multiple tasks arxiv.org/abs/2509.04000 Led by @tanmaypandey.bsky.social

Directed evolution effectively selects for DNA based physical reservoir computing networks capable of multiple tasks

DNA and other biopolymers are being investigated as new computing substrates and alternative to silicon-based digital computers. However, the established top-down design of biomolecular interaction ne...

In my lab we combine semiconductor technology with synthetic cells and today we came our goal a bit closer. In addition I always thought that membrane experiments should be done in a cleanroom because ultimately it's a surface science.

First pre-print for my lab’s new direction: Synthetic Biology meets Neuromorphic Computing Here we investigate the potential of synthetic cells to interface with neuromorphic circuits to mimic the sense of smell. Thanks @volkswagenstiftung.de for funding and @uni-kiel.de arxiv.org/abs/2504.10053

Synthetic Biology meets Neuromorphic Computing: Towards a bio-inspired Olfactory Perception System

In this study, we explore how the combination of synthetic biology, neuroscience modeling, and neuromorphic electronic systems offers a new approach to creating an artificial system that mimics the na...

I think about this from @naomiaklein.bsky.social a lot. "Conspiracy theorists get the facts wrong but often get the feelings right." The sense that people are gaining wealth from human suffering while concealing reality is valid, but the root problem isn't evil people but the nature of capitalism.

Like my doppelganger projecting all of our surveillance fears on a vaccine app, conspiracy theorists get the facts wrong but often get the feelings right-the feeling of living in a world with Shadow Lands, the feeling that every human misery is someone else's profit, the feeling of being exhausted by predation and extraction, the feeling that important truths are being hidden.
