Scientists at Caltech & Princeton University have discovered that bacterial cells growing in a solution of polymers, such as mucus, form long cables that buckle and twist on each other, building a kind of "living Jell-O." https://t.co/ziKrx6pdan

Take a peek inside CCE lecturer Kayane Dingilian's colorful office!
The Lich King Arthas (aka the Jailer of the Damned, Lord of the Scourge, Dark Lord of the Dead) is Dingilian’s favorite character from World of Warcraft. What else is in this lecturer's office? https://t.co/1EWLibaLtx

In a new paper, researchers in the @RyanGHadt lab show how a class of molecules can be used in combination with femtosecond pulses of light (lasting just a few millionths of a billionth of a second) to measure instances of superposition at room temperature. https://t.co/psTSD5mee9
