The GTACTS project also known as SEDIMENTING COLLOIDS has a primary objective to investigate the connection between velocity fluctuations and concentration fluctuations that occur during the sedimentation of particles in a fluid. This study will utilize the unique environment of microgravity in space to enhance understanding of colloidal systems and sedimentation processes, which are difficult to replicate accurately on Earth due to the influence of gravity. Experiments will be conducted onboard the International Space Station (ISS) by using the [FLUMIAS](https://issnationallab.org/iss360/miniature-microscope-aims-to-maximize-science/#:~:text=A%20miniaturized%20fluorescence%20microscope%20could,technology%20onboard%20the%20space%20station.) (Fluorescence Microscopy in the International Space Station) facility, a pioneering 3D fluorescence microscope developed by the [German Aerospace Center (DLR)](https://www.dlr.de/en), allowing to study dynamic changes in samples subjected to different gravitational environments, up to 1.1g.

***Decoding and engineering multiscale mechanoresponses in synthetic and biological tissues***

---
Physical forces are crucial in development, tissue maintenance, and disease. Tissues display complex mechanical behaviors such as viscoelasticity, strain-stiffening, and phase transitions, which are essential for biological function. However, the mechanisms behind these macroscopic properties remain unclear. While some features can result from passive physical effects, as seen in soft materials like polymer gels, living tissues also involve active processes such as mechanosensing, where cells exert and respond to forces. Because both passive and active mechanisms operate across multiple spatial and temporal scales, distinguishing their contributions to tissue mechanics is challenging.
{style="text-align: justify;"}


Progress has been limited by the lack of experimental methods that can measure tissue-scale mechanical properties while simultaneously visualizing cellular and molecular dynamics. To address this, the proposed research combines material science, developmental biology, and physics through a reductionist approach. It will use functionalized biomimetic emulsions and zebrafish gastruloids to create materials with tunable mechanical responses, analyzed using an innovative opto-rheological platform. Integrating these findings into a biophysical theory will reveal how microscopic interactions generate distinct mechanical behaviors in living versus synthetic tissues. Ultimately, this work aims to reconstruct and understand how passive and active mechanical processes interact, enabling the rational design of new living materials.

abstract: Over nearly two decades, Differential Dynamic Microscopy (DDM) has become a standard technique for extracting dynamic correlation functions from time-lapse microscopy data, with applications spanning colloidal suspensions, polymer solutions, active fluids, and biological systems. In its most common implementation, DDM analyzes image sequences acquired with a conventional microscope equipped with a digital camera, yielding time- and wavevector-resolved information analogous to that obtained in multi-angle Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS). With a widening array of applications and a growing, heterogeneous user base, lowering the technical barrier to performing DDM has become a central objective. In this tutorial article, we provide a step-by-step guide to conducting DDM experiments -- from planning and acquisition to data analysis -- and introduce the open-source software package fastDDM, designed to efficiently process large image datasets. fastDDM employs optimized, parallel algorithms that reduce analysis times by up to four orders of magnitude on typical datasets (e.g., 10,000 frames), thereby enabling high-throughput workflows and making DDM more broadly accessible across disciplines.

In its most common implementation, DDM analyzes image sequences acquired with a conventional microscope equipped with a digital camera, yielding time- and wavevector-resolved information analogous to that obtained in multi-angle dynamic light scattering. With a widening array of applications and a growing, heterogeneous user base, lowering the technical barrier to performing DDM has become a central objective. In this tutorial article, we provide a step-by-step guide to conducting DDM experiments—from planning and acquisition to data analysis—intended as a resource for both new and experienced practitioners. We also introduce the open-source software package, fastDDM, designed to efficiently process large image datasets using optimized, parallel algorithms that reduce analysis times by up to four orders of magnitude on typical datasets (e.g., 10 000 frames), thereby enabling high-throughput workflows, reproducibility, and broader adoption across disciplines.
