🚨 New publication alert!
Magnetically driven Rolling Vesicles reveal how friction shapes cell-like motion.

A big shoutout to Paula M. and the team for this study just out in @PNASNews 👏👏

Proud moment for our research group! Both @dcalatayud02 and Paula Magrinya shared their work through individual talks at the 2nd Soft Matter Day conference. Thrilled to see our team's work contributing to the field of soft matter science!

[Laura Arriaga @LauraArr47]

Consider participating in the 2nd Spanish Soft Matter 1 ½ Day, which will be held on November 3 – 6, 2024 in Centro de Ciencias de Benasque Pedro Pascual; see https://t.co/nrfP0ciLAD. Registration deadline approaching!

[Juan Luengo @luenmarq]

So excited to see this work finally published in Soft Matter!
Chainmails of interlocked ring copolymers: we use an ideal model to study fundamental aspects as the influence of heterogeneous rigidity and linking topology.
