How should we model the dynamics of root growth as it turns towards gravity?
As physicists, we tried using a damped harmonic oscillator. And it works! In small angles.

Crumpled sheets reveal a mechanism for glassy relaxations: self-organized avalanches of instabilities! https://t.co/osQnI8RXEQ via @physorg_com

[Yoav Lahini @YLahini]

Our latest research, just published in @NaturePhysics: slow relaxations and logarithmic aging occur via self-organized avalanches of local instabilities. Splendid work by @Yaniv_Friedman and Dor Shohat @ComplexLab_TAU @TelAvivUni

[Complex Matter Lab @ComplexLab_TAU]

Amorphous, complex matter can store long-lasting memories of past mechanical perturbations. We show that these can be tracked and quantified using a global observable - just measure dissipation!

Generative models can capture, mimick, and help explore the physics of correlated quantum walks!

Beautiful work from @Gulliver_lab, with contribution by our lab member Dor Shohat! Dor’s stay at @ESPCI_Paris was funded by the Chateaubriand Fellowship awarded by the French Embassy and the French Institute in Israel.

[ESPCI Paris - PSL @ESPCI_Paris]

In @NaturePhysics , researchers from @Gulliver_lab (@CNRS @ESPCI_Paris ) described the collective actuation of an elastic network of mini robots.
Really elegant and smart work from @odauchot @BaconnierP , congrats!

geometric frustration plus prestress produce a metamaterial that deforms differently depending on the sequence of (same) operations acting on it !!! https://t.co/z8kn2sABv8 with @cbrady451 @ComplexLab_TAU @ChavivaSirote @YLahini @CRSTNNSL @TelAvivUni @FulbrightIL

Our MSc student @Yaniv_Friedman introducing the lab’s research topics and projects at the @BioSoft3 retreat

[Complex Matter Lab @ComplexLab_TAU]

Happy to join the wonderful biosoft retreat.

[BioSoft@TAU @BioSoftTAU]

The @BioSoft3 center’s two-day retreat is off to a great start! 98 participants from different faculties across campus meet to learn about each other’s research and initiate collaborations.
