Researchers thought that what enabled complex fluids to break apart was their elasticity. But a crack in a nonelastic simple fluid has them questioning that idea. quantamagazine.org/we-know-s…

Origami? Nature got there first. The way insects fold their wings (and how a single-cell hunter folds its neck!) is a source of awe—and of inspiration for foldable drones, writes @rohsubb: buff.ly/de3YOAW

In 1998, in Germany, a neuroscientist and a philosopher walked into a bar… and struck a bet. In 25 years, the scientist claimed, #science would have solved #consciousness. That was easier said than done, @rohsubb finds out. Read: bit.ly/3Wbp6yY #ConnectwithIISc

What if instead of just visualizing it, one could also listen to a protein fold? By sonifying the bonds within proteins, Martin Gruebele and Carla Scaletti @UofIllinois study how the folding process is orchestrated. Read more from @rohsubb: bit.ly/3XboUAq

Ever wondered how a woodpecker moving its tiny head at dizzying speeds, drilling on hard surfaces, somehow never suffers any head injuries? Let's take a deep dive, headfirst, into the science behind the seemingly indestructible skulls of woodpeckers! sciwri.club/archives/13070

Excited to share this preprint of our latest study. We find that post stress riluzole administration reverses it's delayed effects in the amygdala. Here's to the Twitterless Zubin Rashid and Prof. Sumantra Chattarji! And importantly, in fond memory of Siddhartha Datta (1/2)

Our latest review is just published in @FrontNeurosci! doi.org/10.3389/fnsyn.2022.8…. In it we examine the links between the synaptic vesicle (SV) life cycle and the wider endolysosomal system, posing the hypothesis that these form a continuum rather than being discrete processes.
