American physicists investigated the statistical properties of the movements of Mexican jumping beans (the so-called boxes of Sebastiania pavoniana, which set the larvae of the leaflet growing in them in motion) in the absence of a temperature gradient. It turned … Read More

Identifying hadronically decaying top-quark jets in a sample of jets is an important task in many LHC searches. Although there are outstanding supervised algorithms, their construction and expected performance rely on Monte Carlo simulations. After introducing the general framework of … Read More

We investigate, by using molecular dynamics simulations, the effect of curvature on the interfacial properties of pure water and  water-alcohol solutions. For the pure water case we can calculate the Tolman length, which characterizes the dependence of surface tension on … Read More

During embryogenesis, the earliest cell fate decision is tightly linked to nuclear positioning. Control of nuclear positioning arises from the integration of the different phases of activity during the cell cycle and associated cytoskeletal mechanics. Yet, the mechanisms that ensure … Read More

Biological membranes based on lipid bilayers are major components of all living organisms, but lipid layers are also used in many biomedical applications. We use biomembrane models in the form of lipid mono- and bilayers at water/air and water/oil interfaces … Read More

Hadronization, a crucial component of event generation, is traditionally simulated using fine-tuned empirical models. While current phenomenological models have been quite successful overall in simulating this process, there are still areas where they lack accuracy in describing the underlying physics. … Read More

The importance of nematic order and active nematic behaviour to epithelial morphogenesis is becoming increasingly clear. Several approaches have been developed to adapt vertex models, one of the most ubiquitous methods of modelling epithelia, to also include nematic activity. Here, … Read More
