Happy to share that our work is now published in @JChemPhys! We show that activity enhances transport while SALR interactions preserve microphase structure, revealing a structure–dynamics decoupling that highlights the structural memory of SALR systems.

E. coli can spin tiny discs 🧫
ERC grantee Jérémie Palacci @ISTAustria shows that confined bacteria generate torque via fluid flows, driving rotation without contact.

Honeybee swarms do not come together and fall apart in the same way 🐝
In this new preprint led by Danielle Chase, we report how to trick swarms to repeatedly assemble and disassemble in front of our cameras, while tracking individual bees in 3D!

Asymmetric ice blocks floating in water can self-propel as they melt, due to a buoyancy-driven gravity current producing steady translation. A momentum-balance model predicts this mechanism, which persists even in warm saltwater.

Check out the most recent #BIOMICAR article! Here we characterize a new type of collective motion induced purely by confinement in suspensions of run-and-tumble particles

New #BIOMICAR article out! We show how activity and confinement drive microscale separation of active-passive mixtures via an induced drift on the passive particles @MSCActions

I visited Prof. Anne De Wit’s group at @ULBruxelles 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
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 @softmatter #BIOMICAR @MSCActions

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
"Global non-equilibrium thermodynamics for steady states like never before" — Read it on @ResearchGate: researchgate.net/publication… – at Warsaw, Poland
Check out the first #BIOMICAR article! Here, you can find how gravity and hydrodynamics affect the structure of sedimented monolayers of micro-swimmers

#BIOMICAR was present in "Semana de la Ciencia" organized by @unicomplutense. 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 – at Las Rozas de Madrid, Spain
#BIOMICAR project was present at @GSummerSchool! I shared our results in a flash talk and @chavaleriani 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 – at Las Rozas de Madrid, Spain
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!

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.
