A True Limerick on T cell Traction
T cells push and force-dipoles form.
But that is not exactly the norm.
They may pull and let go,
or simply tiptoe.
Or they may pull, signal & transform.

Spatio-temporal Patterns of T Cell Traction Forces Depend on Stimulation and Cell Subtype
T cells exert forces to sense mechano-chemical cues from their target cells. These forces are feeble and are influenced by environmental factors; as a result, they have often been measured under non-p...

Jochen, you left before we could play our promised Table-Tennis rematch at Les Houches. A great physicist and a wonderful human. You will be sorely missed by our community.
So sorry that you had to go so soon.

Nobel prizes you’ve never heard of: how an obscure version of colour photography beat quantum theory to the most prestigious prize in physics – Physics World
Gabriel Lippmann received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1908 for an interference-based method of colour photography that was never commercially successful. Margaret Harris finds out why

Biological membranes and liquid crystals are closely related because they exhibit
similar types of molecular ordering and symmetry. This deep connection led many researchers
in the 1960s and 1970s to ...

Black holes look like RBCs?
Black holes evaporate by emitting Hawking radiation. The process, which ends in the black hole exploding, is so slow that lightweight primordial black holes could be dying only now. Beyond-standard-model physics could hasten the process, boosting our chances of seeing a black hole explosion.
Dark Charge Could Make Exploding Black Holes More Common
Primordial black holes could be stabilized by a dark, electromagnetic-like interaction, delaying their violent end until the present day.
