Understanding how crystals nucleate is a key goal in materials, biomineralization, and chemistry. Many inorganic materials are known to crystallize “nonclassically” by particle attachment. However, a...

Working with amazing people always leads to great experiences and results. @floriandietrix.@matteoslvlgl @UCL_MMEgroup @BenpalmerLab .Special mention to the ones not on X: Avital, Michal, Einat, Mariela, and Leeor. None of this would be possible without them.

A peek into the nucleation 'blind-spot'. MD simulations + in situ experiments reveal a non-classical crystallization mechanism of nature’s favorite biocrystal - Guanine!.

Beautiful piece. Optics, chemistry and biology; all in one. Keep rocking @TLemcoff.
@TLemcoff's work in @NaturePhotonics reveals a new principle in light scattering. Cleaner shrimp overcome 'optical crowding' using extreme birefringence, making their whiteness both ultra-bright and ultra-thin! @bengurionu

2nd paper of the month. Some really exciting Science brewing below the waters of Eilat. Big congratulations to the whole team. Stay tuned for another blockbuster from the lab.
So excited to share this one - A tunable reflector enabling crustaceans to see but not be seen @ScienceMagazine a fantastic collaboration between @ShavitKeshet, Avital Wagner @bengurionu and @jshaataj @SchertelLukas @Cambridge_Uni and @oooitsplasma .

An amazing work from Avital and the team, providing a wonderful insight in the world of biogenic Guanine crystals. And waiting for many more such mysteries to be uncovered by the group.
Happy to share Avital Wagner’s recent paper showing how guanine crystal morphology is controlled by soft, intra-organelle templates, with many parallels to melanin morphogenesis @bengurionu @natcomms #biomineralization @BenGurionUni.

The best ones encourage you to take a break and go for a trip as much as they encourage you to work. And well nothing can beat delicious snacks 😋.
