Experiments with active colloidal rollers elucidate the role of propulsion heterogeneity and nonreciprocal interaction in the self-sorting of binary active systems Letter: go.aps.org/3FzkeuN Synopsis: go.aps.org/476Ib8f

#ICYMI: Scientists introduce a macroscopic model to describe the trajectories of groups of ants cooperatively carrying large items. The study connects this model to previous coupled-carrier models, bridging the gap from micro to macro scales. 🐜 📝 go.aps.org/45p2tbP

Our "Jamming phase diagram" for #activematter just published as Editor's Suggestion in Physical Review Letters ! This is the first of, I believe, a long series of works on #activesolids and, more generally, active yield stress materials... so stay tuned! journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1…

The Lorentz reciprocal theorem, crucial for understanding microswimmer propulsion, is generalizable to fluids with odd viscosity go.aps.org/3FAm26M

#BIOMICAR project has officially started! I presented the methods, objectives and goals of the project in @gisc_group 2024 workshop held in URJC. @MSCActions Complutense IMEDEA (UIB-CSIC) Horizon Europe 🇪🇺 European Commission

We sincerely congratulate our colleague Prof. Alina Ciach on being awarded the Doctor Honoris Causa degree by ICMP, 🇺🇦 Academy of Sciences. The awardee is a prominent member of our research group 24: Complex Systems and Chemical Processing of Information. #IPC_PAS #IPC_Awards

The PI of #BIOMICAR, chantal valeriani, spoke in front of students from the Liceo Scientifico "Enrico Fermi" in Madrid within the framework of the Day of Women and Girls in Science! Complutense Horizon Europe 🇪🇺 @MSCActions European Commission

Discussing about science is always nicer at the seaside! I attended the workshop: "Collective motions of animals and robots" held at IES Cargese , where I shared the first results of #BIOMICAR among colleagues with very interdisciplinary backgrounds. @MSCActions

Meet the Physical Chemistry of Complex Systems Group led by Prof. Wojciech Góźdź. This Team (No. 13) investigates the phenomena and processes encountered in complex physical and biological systems: ichf.edu.pl/en/groups/phys…. #IPC_ExcellenceClusters

I presented the last results of #BIOMICAR project at the IX Workshop de la Red de Simulacion Molecular Española, held in Baiona, Galicia. Lovely place and inspirational talks! @MSCActions European Commission

#BIOMICAR project was present at @GSummerSchool! I shared our results in a flash talk and chantal valeriani gave a nice and inspirational seminar. Thanks to the organizers for an excellent school! We have learnt a lot about all the approaches to study complex systems😃 @MSCActions

#BIOMICAR was present in "Semana de la Ciencia" organized by Complutense. We talked about soft and active matter physics and performed simple experiments to explain basic concepts. It was fun for us and for the kids! @MSCActions

I attended the last phymot conference and presented the current results and the perspectives of #BIOMICAR project. Lots of great talks and valuable discussions on motile active matter! @MSCActions

Check out the first #BIOMICAR article! Here, you can find how gravity and hydrodynamics affect the structure of sedimented monolayers of micro-swimmers Sedimentation and structure of squirmer suspensions under gravity - now published in Soft Matter pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

"Global non-equilibrium thermodynamics for steady states like never before" — Read it on ResearchGate: researchgate.net/publication/38…

Just wrapped up a 3-month stay at IMEDEA (UIB-CSIC) in the amazing InFiBiO group led by Prof. Marco Polin! Learned tons about biophysics and experimental techniques. Time to analyze the results of confined mixtures of Chlamy and colloidal beads 🧪🔬 @MSCActions #BIOMICAR

I am very happy to share that I’ve been recognized as one of the Royal Society of Chemistry’s 2024 outstanding reviewers of the journal Soft Matter #BIOMICAR @MSCActions Explore the full list at rsc.org/journals-books… #RSCPeerReview

I visited Prof. Anne De Wit’s group at Université libre de Bruxelles to explore collaborations on self-organization in out-of-equilibrium systems—from chemical instabilities to biological microswimmers. I also presented #BIOMICAR's recent results in a group seminar @MSCActions
