Last Friday we tested our skills as a group on a Scape game🔎, and we all succeeded in resolving the Scape room on time!⏰ Communication, team spirit, and a bit of logic put together to solve all the mysteries! #teambondingtime #researchfamily

Excited about discoveries of topological motifs in complex network materials! If you have not read the beautiful paper by Giorgia Palombo, Simon Weir, ⁦Davide Michieletto⁩, and Yair Fosado nature.com/articles/s4156… yet, please do! This is just my teaser … nature.com/articles/s4156…

How cells actively change their shape is an open question. Now, a reconstituted minimal cytoskeleton composed of microtubules and molecular motors is shown to produce membrane fluctuations that drive active shape changes in synthetic cells. nature.com/articles/s4156…

🚨 New paper in Physical Review Letters ! We show how motion induces a topological phase transition in 2D populations of oscillators with random frequencies 🌀: journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1… w YRouzaire PRahmani FPeruani ignacio pagonaba UB ICS CUCALAB Facultat de Física UB #ComplexSystems #ActiveMatter

The active softies of the group met some weeks ago to spend a nice evening together and enjoy some international delicacies!🧀🍷 What a blessing being surrounded by these amazing humans! If you want to know more about us, check the news on our website :) softbiocoll.com/general-5

SoftBioColloids group portraits! 🗒️ We will be posting portraits of our group members, so you get to know a bit more about the people driving the science in the group. We start with the portrait of Vivien Willems👇 More info softbiocoll.com

New preprint about active colloidal mixtures: experiments and simulations! Thanks a lot for the exciting collaboration :)

Last weekend, the SoftBio Colloids Lab group gathered to beat the heat with a lovely picnic — and to celebrate the recent tenure of our group leader, Laura Alvarez! Here’s to many more exciting years of science and friendship with you and those yet to join! #softmatter

Our next speaker Professor Laura Alvarez Laura Alvarez - of SoftBio Colloids Lab from University of Bordeaux (France) , she will present on “Designing run and tumble dynamics of active lipid vesicles.” Stefano Palagi European Research Council (ERC) Microscale Robotics Lab #livingmachine
