Sadjad Arzash and Shila Banerji publish in PNAS Nexus a step toward training living matter through experience: their tissue-model study shows how physical learning can operate in soft matter, where the material adapts its behavior through interactions. Relevant to physical learning, mechanobiology and adaptive-materials research adjacent to embodied intelligence.
