Dr. Keith Cassidy
Abstract: The essential conundrum of modern biology, namely the question of how life emerges from myriad molecules whose behavior is governed by physical laws alone, is embodied within a single cell—the quantum of life. The rise of scientific supercomputing has… Show more

Pontus Laurell
At relatively low polymer concentrations, granular hydrogel particles, commonly called microgels, undergo a jamming transition and behave like a soft elastic solid with reversible yielding. Over the past decade, these microgel packings have been utilized as… Show more
