🚀 Meet the @barakhirshberg.bsky.social Lab
From enhanced sampling in molecular dynamics to bridging physics & ML, they’re redefining how we study complex systems.

🔬 Curious how stochastic resetting speeds up protein folding or even AI training?

Mechanical interactions between plants and surroundings plays a huge role in understanding how plants negotiate their environment - but measuring low forces of free plants is hard!

In this preprint Amir Ohad presents a new sensor - using a drinking straw!
