@ecarlon.bsky.socialLast week I participated in Fluctuations in Small Complex Systems VIII in Venice
I presented our work on DNA mechanics beyond the twistable wormlike chain, focusing on sequence-dependent flexibility and nonlinear mechanical responses

@ecarlon.bsky.socialThis week I’m in Cargèse, Corsica, for the Transport in Narrow Channels workshop (21–25 Sept). Great science, stimulating discussions, a round table on AI and physics, and a magnificent setting! 🌊☀️
@azonano.comDNA - protein hydrogels are pushing DNA nanotechnology from nanoscale design to adaptive soft materials that could revolutionize biosensing, drug delivery, and more. 🧬🔬

@yashunsky.bsky.socialOur @natphys.nature.com paper is now out!
We find that defect creation & annihilation in bacteria and cells collectives spontaneously break mirror symmetry—unpredicted by active nematic theory.
