University of Vienna @ #Expo2025 in Osaka 🏛️ Internationally renowned experts from the University of Vienna gathered at the "Building Futures" event at #EXPO to highlight the range of innovative research & our joint effort of designing future society. 🧑‍🔬🧪 Read more: ⤵️ www.univie.ac.at/en/internati...

This 👇 is getting scary. An act of oppression and violation of democracy. Trump Intends to Cancel All Federal Funds Directed at Harvard www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

Impressive. China will soon lead also in space! tecspectrum.com/happenings/c...

Parrinello wins the 2025 ESI medal. Congratulations!

Intriguing application of DDM to the Xenopus cytoplasm!

This is by far one of the most fascinating open questions in science. What means conscience? www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Curious how physics makes your coffee taste better? Discover the science behind the perfect pour-over, featuring insights from Arnold Mathijssen’s lab. A delightful and accessible read via @nytimes.com The Physics of the Perfect Pour Over www.nytimes.com/2025/04/23/s...

Flocking and active solid behavior of epithelial cells in our new study in @pnas.org Great work of Y. Shen, J. O'Byrne and @andreasschoenit.bsky.social and collaboration with A. Maitra and R. Voituriez! | PNAS www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

🚀 The Frey Group is now on Bluesky! 🌐 We explore statistical physics, biophysics, and nonequilibrium systems. From active matter to self-organization in biology, we uncover fundamental principles of complex systems. #Physics #Biophysics #ActiveMatter #ComplexSystems #TheoreticalPhysics

How do hydraulic forces impact critical processes such as tissue integrity, cell fate decisions, and embryo development? Hydraulics studies how fluids move and exert forces. Join me in exploring few articles on hydraulics in #EpithelialMechanics

In Memoriam: Wolfenson, Giannone, and Schwartz recall the life and many contributions of Michael Sheetz, who passed away on January 30, 2025. rupress.org/jcb/article/...

In an act of seasonal rebellion, today—March 28, 2025—I liberated Ludwig Boltzmann from wearing his Christmas hat at the Ludwig Boltzmann Hörsaal in Vienna.

Very interesting study suggesting that heavy rainfall may affect small bodies of water more than large ones, eventually leading to flooding www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Unique opportunity to join the CytoMorpho Lab (in Paris ❤️) as a postdoc to work on the self-organization and polarization of reconstituted networks made of microtubules, motors and actin filaments in vitro. Experience required. Please Repost 🙏 thanks !

Re-posts appreciated! We have an open PhD position w/ Prof Harold Auradou on #microswimmers/#protists in complex media! Students get to spend at least 12 months in Paris, and will receive their PhD from both Exeter and Paris-Saclay! Apply by 31st Mar. More details: adum.fr/as/ed/voirpr...

Women in science @ the Faculty of Life Sciences: Our aim is to showcase the diversity within the sciences by highlighting fifty-seven women scientists and their research interests from our faculty. Learn more at the link bellow ⬇️⬇️⬇️ lifesciences.univie.ac.at/innovation-i...

Ben Widom (1927-2025). A gentleman and a giant! news.cornell.edu/stories/2025...

Almost 347 years ago the first woman graduated from a University in this city. Where am I?

Having fun and enjoying @elisabethbik.bsky.social post dinner talk at the nwo physics conference in Veldhoven!

“One- and two-particle microrheology of soft materials based on optical-flow image analysis”. Our new article in Soft Matter shows you a simpler way to microrheology pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/A...

Disturbing and worrying news (as if we needed more) from Iran!

Likewise! 😄

New paper out! We share our experiences from conducting #bioimageanalysis workshops, using open-source software and building a community around training: doi.org/10.1002/jemt... Thanks to the dream team of rockstars, @david-j-barry.bsky.social, @martinjones.bsky.social and Tom Slater

Can restoring vocal fold mechanics combat vocal fold cancer? A recent #preprint by @ivaskalab.bsky.social & colleagues demonstrates that it can (and how it can)! Check out the #preLight from Teodora Piskova ⬇️👀 prelights.biologists.com/highlights/r...

Also Ludwig feels the festive atmosphere at the Physics Faculty of the University of Vienna!

What Is Entropy? A Measure of Just How Little We Really Know

Mike Cates from Cambridge University reaches the end of his Physics Colloquium at the Physics Faculty of the @univie.ac.at When dealing with active matter, statistical mechanics survives, and can still take us very far!

Piotr Chruściel is awarded the ESI medal 2024 at @esivienna.bsky.social

pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a... Read about the first years of Polymer Chemistry and celebrate with us @roysocchem.bsky.social @luscombeoist.bsky.social !

New paper out in Soft Matter! pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/A... I am particularly proud of this work as it combines three of my favorite topics: Complex fluids, Brownian motion, and Active particles. Here’s a brief summary

Consider nominating a deserving rheologist for the prestigious Society of Rheology Bingham or Metzner awards. The awards will be given at the SoR Annual Meeting in Santa Fe, NM in October 2025.

Rheologists working on space applications and/or low gravity research are encouraged to submit manuscripts to our special issue in the Journal of Rheology by May 31, 2025. Reach out to our guest editors Olfa D'Angelo, Thomas Voigtmann, and Norman Wagner with any questions. #EverythingFlows

We could go on about how we welcome publishers, we don't demote links, we encourage independent developers to build apps and extensions on top of Bluesky's network.... but instead, we'll show you. All thanks to the incredible community here! 🦋
