Nature Materials volume 22, pages1409–1420 (2023). The cell skeleton (cytoskeleton) is formed by multiple filaments of different mechanical properties, creating a dense mesh with diverse and complex responses. These cytoskeleton networks interact with the extracellular matrix (ECM) to determine the cell behavior. The paper by Kechagia et al. shows that laminin, a ubiquitous protein in […]

(UPC) and  (UB, CRM). Received November 28, 2023. Consider the N -body problem, namely the motion of N bodies in 3-dimensional space subject to the Newtonian universal attraction: where x_{j} ∈ ℝ^{3} is the position and m_{j} > 0 the mass of body j. Of particular interest is the planetary problem, where the masses of

(UB), (DMAT, IMTech, CRM), and (CSIC, ICMAT). Received September 26, 2023 1. Introduction Fundamental to the understanding of physical phenomena and dynamical systems in general is the study of the computational complexity that may arise in a given class of systems. This complexity can include undecidable phenomena and computational intractability, which is relevant not only

(Maria de Maeztu fellow at CRM) Received September 18, 2023. Computer Vision is the area of Artificial Inteligence that focuses on computer perception and processing of images. One of the main problems that arise in this area is the so called Structure-from-motion (SfM) problem or 3D-image reconstruction problem, where the main goal is to create

(DMAT) Received June 20, 2023. The natural world is full of large systems of interacting units. A human brain, for example, contains around 86 billion (86 · 10^{9}) neurons whose activities evolve in time as a function of the activities of the neurons they are connected to. An ecosystem can also be regarded as an
