The dynamical arrest of attractive colloidal particles into out-of-equilibrium structures, known
as gelation, is central to biophysics, materials science, nanotechnology, and food and …

Self-assembly is widely used by biological systems to build functional nanostructures, such
as the protein capsids of RNA viruses. But because assembly is a collective phenomenon …

While microscopy-based cellular assays, including microfluidics, have significantly
advanced over the last several decades, there has not been concurrent development of …

The molecular organization of receptors in the plasma membrane of cells is paramount for
their functionality. We combined lattice light-sheet (LLS) microscopy with three-dimensional …

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria pose a significant threat to humanity. Gram-negative strains
have demonstrated resistance to last resort antibiotics, partially due to their outer membrane …

We study experimentally the response of a dense sediment of Brownian particles to self-
propulsion. We observe that the ergodic supercooled liquid relaxation is monotonically …

Reaction–diffusion networks underlie pattern formation in a range of biological contexts,
from morphogenesis of organisms to the polarization of individual cells. One requirement for …

Solid-to-solid transitions usually occur via athermal nucleation pathways on pre-existing
defects due to immense strain energy. However, the extent to which athermal nucleation …

Quantifying the nucleation processes involved in liquid-vapor phase-change phenomena,
while dauntingly challenging, is central in designing energy conversion and thermal …

Background Tracking and predicting the growth performance of plants in different
environments is critical for predicting the impact of global climate change. Automated …
