The Lagrangian Approach to Solving Mechanical Systems

Ina previous article, I discussed a few basic concepts regarding the Lagrangian approach to classical mechanics, including constraints, generalized coordinates, virtual work, etc. Further, I also listed some limitations that make the Newtonian approach sorely incompetent for systems that deviat...

Detection of Fluorescent Protein Mechanical Switching in Cellulo

This paper describes the detection of fluorescent protein (FP) mechanical switching in genetically encoded Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based tension sensors inside living cells. The authors developed a computational model of FP mechanical switching in the context of FRET-based tens...

Romare Bearden, Mechanical Reproduction & Generative A

One of my recent book cover art commissions was released by the author on social media (see below) and someone commented/asked whether or not the original artists were credited since it’s “AI Art”. Part of my response was to ask this question: Did Romare Bearden credit the original...
