RNA Dynamics and Interactions Revealed through Atomistic Simulations RNA function is deeply intertwined with its conformational dynamics. In this review, we survey recent advances in the use of atomistic molecular dynamics simulations to characterize RNA dynamics in di...

📢 New #preprint alert! Our review "RNA Dynamics and Interactions Revealed through Atomistic Simulations" is now available on arxiv.org/abs/2507.08474 ! Written by @bussigio.bsky.social and @ollyfutur.bsky.social

Periodic boundary conditions for bosonic path integral molecular dynamics We develop an algorithm for bosonic path integral molecular dynamics (PIMD) simulations with periodic boundary conditions (PBC) that scales quadratically with t

Very few things make me prouder than having Jacob and @yotamfe.bsky.social's paper published today in JCP in the special issue honoring one of my personal heroes, Abraham Nitzan.

Abe is a giant of theoretical chemistry (in Israel and globally) and an inspiration to us all.

And paper #2 here: Defect Positioning in Combinatorial Metamaterials doi.org/10.1103/mvrj...

Read open access paper #1 here: Breaking mechanical holography in combinatorial metamaterials doi.org/10.1103/wtgy...

Defect Positioning in Combinatorial Metamaterials combined rigorous mathematical analysis with Yotam Feldman and Guy Cohen’s ability to translate our questions on mechanical incompatibility within the metamaterial to a constraint satisfaction problem.

Breaking Mechanical Holography in Combinatorial Metamaterials started from Naomi Spiro’s undergraduate summer project and Ofri Palti’s highschool final project. Breaking the link between the lattice's boundary & inside allows to design deformation texture on the entire boundary.

Our two sister papers on combinatorial metamaterials published today in @physrevresearch.bsky.social, a result of a fantastic SKCM2 collaboration with Chaviva Sirote-Katz at Tel Aviv and Tamás Kálmán at Tokyo shokef.tau.ac.il

YouTube video by Schmidt Science Fellows Could Your Smartwatch Support Your Mental Health?

What if mental health support could be as flexible as the lives we lead? Our 2023 Fellow Asim Gazi is building intelligent algorithms to help wearable devices, like smartwatches, provide real-time support, bridging critical gaps in mental healthcare. #mentalhealth www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Z59...

I'm going to do some writing today

I can say from personal experience that this video is not quite as good as listening to Vesna for 14 minutes straight but it's still extremely fabulous

Had a great time talking with Martin about the various astonishments I've experienced while thinking hard on invariant inference and finding myself studying learning theory. Also: SAT solving for metamaterials w/ @yairshokef.bsky.social, and the joys of feeling stupid. Hope you'll enjoy it.

"There is no study or sequence of studies, including the infinite sequence, that would convince a person that likes dynamic types to say I have seen the light, I like strong types now."

Little demonstration of Brownian motion : a larger and heavier tracer particle moves through a fluid. At about halfway, the smaller particles are faded out, leaving only the tracer particle visible.

Our article, “Trait-space patterning is dictated by the tempo and mode of mutation,” co-authored with Stephen Martis and David Schwab, is out in PNAS! We show how mutation processes shape evolution, with relevance to bacteria–phage interactions. www.pnas.org/doi/pdf/10.1...

This is what happens if you integrate the equations of motion of the harmonic oscillator with the Euler algorithm.
