New prepint w/ @demianlevis.bsky.social @natxopago.bsky.social L. Isa and E.Sesé-Sansa. We study active binary mixtures to unveil how two populations of active colloids with different motilities interact with each other. Thanks for the great work!🥳 arxiv.org/abs/2506.15188

🚨 New paper in PRL: journals.aps.org/prl/abstract... -> motion induces a topological phase transition in 2D systems of Kuramoto oscillators with random frequencies 🌀 w YRouzaire PRahmani FPeruani IPgagonabarraga @demianlevis.bsky.social @ubics.bsky.social @ub.edu #ComplexSystems #ActiveMatter

Published in #PhysRevLett! How nonreciprocity affects the behaviour of topological defects? they are reshaped, their annihilation can be enhanced or hindered, +1 -1 charges move differently. PhD work of YRouzaire @ub.edu @ubics.bsky.social with @demianlevis.bsky.social IPagonabarraga and DPearce.

What a great week! The 1st Barcelona School on non-equilibrium stat phys has been really successful. Thanks to C Calero, F Ritort, the students and all attendees sponsors and mostly, our 5 Lecturers. #statphys #bcnschoolneqstatphys
