Science is Curiosity on a Mission: It includes all of us who ask "why" and make it our mission to find out. These are the discoveries that move the country forward. The pursuit of ideas that seemed impossible until they weren’t. #CuriosityOnAMission
“Curiosity is the force that transforms deadly cancers into treatable conditions… that turns fusion energy from a dream to a reality…that uncovers new ways to grow more food using less of every resource,” says MIT President Sally Kornbluth. #CuriosityOnAMission
Congratulations to Dr @yuchenchaoXD , my wonderful graduate student from @Harvard Applied Physics, who successfully defended today. And of course, wowed everyone! She will stay @MIT for a short postdoc before moving to @UChicago … Very proud!!
What happens when marine embryos are crowded instead of isolated? They become materials. Honored to write a @NaturePhysics News & Views on excitable living solids discovered by @FakhriLab and colleagues at @MIT 😀 N&V: rdcu.be/e5gLm Paper: nature.com/articles/s4156…
Check out this great News & Views article by @Viveknprakash: nature.com/articles/s4156…
The saga of Living Chiral Crystals continues… Excited to share our new @NaturePhysics paper ON Living Chiral Crystals 2.0! nature.com/articles/s4156… We show that living solids made of starfish embryos can self-organize into nonequilibrium states that generate mechanical work. These active crystals break reciprocity and exhibit emergent modes impossible in equilibrium. Amazing work by my group members, in collaboration with Jörn Dunkel's group @ScienceMIT. rdcu.be/e15vd
I’m excited to share that I’ve been promoted to Full Professor of Physics at @MIT. This milestone feels especially meaningful: I am the first Iranian woman to hold this position in physics at MIT. I carry my heritage with pride, especially in moments like this. I’m deeply grateful to my students, postdocs, colleagues and mentors. This achievement reflects the community that challenges me, supports me, and elevates the work every day. The work continues: ambitious questions, curiosity-driven science and much still to discover. Onward… to the questions we haven’t yet imagined! Picture: latest Fakhri group meeting
@emanueladelgado @MIT Thank you Emanuela!
