It’s a treat to follow and learn physics from @Pavan_KumarGV . He—and there are few others too—are passionate about their undergraduate teaching and communicating science and its history through their blogs and podcasts. With a dozen like him, and in multiple languages too, the
Today, in my optics class, I discussed optical forces due to momentum in electromagnetic waves. Towards the late 1800s, it was realized that light can impart momentum. This manifested as radiation pressure in the electromagnetic theory proposed by James Maxwell. Pyotr

Life moves forward — never backward. Living systems consume energy, breaking time’s symmetry and staying far from equilibrium. That’s the hidden physics behind every heartbeat, every cell in motion, every act of becoming. @TEDxNewEngland

Researchers investigated aging mechanisms in the nervous system and found that glial alkalinization caused by the loss of the pH-regulating CLH-1 channel promotes longevity, increases stress resistance, minimizes neuronal damage, and prolongs health. https://t.co/xBddcfCtAL

Thrilled to see this paper published @PNASNews! Check it out at https://t.co/sDAKJ512HA. In it, we describe how swimming bacterial suspensions spontaneously organize themselves in unexpected ways when oxygen starts running out. Summary in the tweetorial below ⬇️

Lab studies of bacteria usually focus on cells in spatially extended, nutrient-replete settings, such as in liquid cultures and on agar surfaces. B...
Excited to release our latest work, led by @BabakVH: https://t.co/OYEiklWDco Here, we describe how confined bacterial suspensions self-organize into structured domains of different motilities, in response to oxygen limitations🦠🍥 Tweetorial follows! [1/8]
