A new framework for analyzing forces and currents in nonequilibrium systems generalizes existing graph-theoretical tools to now encompass interacting reaction networks and time-dependent properties. Read go.aps.org/3PzJqYm uni.lu LIPhy @INP_CNRS Université Grenoble Alpes

Our paper on the role of physical interaction on Turing patterns has been published The Royal Society: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… Congratulations to shared first authors Lucas Menou and Chengjie Luo 🎉

New pre-print alert 🥳 In doi.org/10.48550/arXiv…, Yicheng and Chengjie Luo develop a theory for the amazing patterns that Carla Fernandez-Rico from Laboratory of Soft and Living Materials found by inducing phase separation in PDMS. To our surprise, we found that the microstructure of the gel mattered!

Another pre-print from the group 🎉 Yicheng and Chengjie Luo discovered analytical scaling laws of phase separation in multicomponent mixtures. They verified these results with a novel numerical algorithm for determining coexisting phases. 📃 arxiv.org/abs/2405.01138

Great work led by our PhD student Yihong Shi co-supervised by Andrej Vilfan Living Matter Physics MPI-DS Göttingen. She discovered new strategies to mix particles efficiently in viscous suspensions using information theoretical techniques.

Large, migratory clusters of tumor cells are less likely to form when cells are densely packed and have strong cell-cell alignment, according to a new study that modeled a 2D layer of motile and non-motile #cancer cells. 🔗 go.aps.org/41kbHI7 #oncology #physics
