Monarchs (Danaus plexippus) are still feeding on the obedient plant blossoms (Physostegia virginiana), though not quite in the numbers they were a few days ago. Here’s an experienced aviator drinking deeply. #InverteFest

Two weeks ago the Softliv crew was at the 2025 Soft Condensed Matter GRC! 🍃
We shared our ongoing research, learned a ton from the community, and enjoyed many energizing discussions.
A highlight was reconnecting with our amazing lab alumni — nothing beats mixing science with good company! 💡👥

Activity can drive flows: self-driven spinners reveal states from chiral active fluids to twisters. 🌪️
Amazing work led by Panyu, Scott, and Severine. It was a joy to watch the experiments unfold and analyze the flows together.
Check out the cover to see how the spinners dance!

1/6 🧪 Preprint-Alert!
We looked at how molecules move across phase boundaries, e.g., in liquid droplets, taking into account that chemical potentials inside and outside the boundary can be different!
This unites recent work with stuff from the 60s and has cool consequences 👇

Transport kinetics across interfaces between coexisting liquid phases
We investigate the kinetics of material transport across interfaces in phase-separated mixtures. Using non-equilibrium thermodynamics we derive the interfacial kinetics, describing the movement of the...
