🧊 A study in @PhysRevLett shows sea ice is more resistant to melting the older it is — likely due to the loss of salty pockets in the ice over time. These findings may improve climate models.
Read the paper: go.aps.org/4nbfnUg
ALT Series of four black-and-white experimental images showing the growth and shape changes of sea ice in a lab tank. Each panel has a dashed blue line tracing the ice edge. Over time, the ice becomes denser and more compact, illustrating how young, porous ice gradually transforms into a thicker, tougher layer.

Very excited this work is out in @NaturePhysics.
A wonderful collaboration between my group @MIT and @PhysOfLifeLMU.
Optogenetically induced chemo-mechanical excitations are used to drive and study shape deformations in starfish oocytes. Understanding and eventually controlling such waves is important for the development of synthetic cells.

1️⃣For years, scientists have known that mechanical tension influences cell behavior. But in our recent study in @NatureMaterials we found that it is not just the amount of tension—it is the direction!
