Gil Henkin ’14 is a physics major, but that doesn’t prevent him from working magic. In the lab in 222 Abelson, the young scientist conjures mesmerizing images of microscopic systems in motion. These ...

Physicist Zvonimir Dogic and his lab are on a roll. Last week, Dogic’s research was featured in two of science’s most respected journals, Science and Nature. Science featured the Dogic team’s ...

If you think about it, our bodies are really just systems of individual, microscopic components that are out of equilibrium because they consume energy. That's what it's like to be active matter.

Cilia -- tiny hair-like structures that perform feats such as clearing microscopic debris from the lungs and determining the correct location of organs during development -- move in mysterious ways.

Dogic visited Iran in 2016 for the first time. On his second trip to the country, he met Iranian tour guide Fariba Fadai, whom he married, and together they now live in the central Iranian city of ...

New Scientist – Creating drops of the active gel about 30 to 100 micrometres across resulted in something akin to cells that crawled across a microscope slide. “It mimics a little bit what might ...

Flocks of birds, schools of fish and swarms of insects are all examples of “active matter” – systems of particles that move on their own without recourse to external forces. Scientists have long ...
