Thanks for all the amazing discussions and looking forward to coming back visiting soon!
Can light control motion and group behavior?

Happy to be on board as an editor for ACS Applied Optical Materials. Curious to see where the light–matter journey takes us next in the world of materials science.

Presented at the Enrico Fermi Research Center (www.cref.it) in Via Panisperna—thanks to Romolo Savo (www.cref.it/en/personale-di-ricerca/romolo-savo-2/) for the invite!

Still not over giving my talk under a banner that read “The Scientific Legacy of Enrico Fermi”. Undeserved? Slightly. 🥹😂

Scientist types as #DnD classes:

Fighter: The best way to approach any problem is to do an experiment first and ask questions later (assuming there is any question left to ask). Very high volume of fire, but needs a constant stream of money to pay for fancier and fancier equipment.

There you go, the full story by @manuelthery.bsky.social and remember "life is fluid on lipids"!
Stay tuned, this system has many more surprises ready for you! 🤗🤗🤗
🙏🙏 thx to @lblanchoin.bsky.social @bhagyanaths.bsky.social and to afaik Bsky-less clo, sudipta, JF, alex and jerem!
Mix two motors of opposite polarity with microtubules and they will partition space !
Microtubules will get organized in polar and active barriers, sorting the two motors in separated domains, leading to the emergence of a new type of patterns.

What better way to start this journey on 🦋 than sharing our latest work?

We studied how a complex environment influences the formation of groups in active colloids. How did we do it?
