	Unexpected extension in The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2023 Conceived as an extension of our previous study [JPCL 2021] to unveil the nature of the limit cycle, we have unpexpectedly arrived at a novel two-variable model of a pH oscillator, which is virtually exact reduction from four variables.

	Curious story in The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, 2021 published in less than 4 weeks Rhythms are vital for a variety of processes of life with the pH level having a strong impact on cell performance. Their machinery is hidden in small reaction compartments such as vesicles. How does their smallness affect the rhythm? Read more Details: J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 12, 9888 (2021)
	Experiment & theory story in Nature Communications, 2021 [ZIB News] Being of great technological potential, assembling nanosized magnetic particles on surfaces presents a formidable challenge. Using theory to rationalize the experiment, we overcome this problem for traps created by magnetic domain walls. Read more Details: Nature Commun. 12, 5813 (2021)
	On the cover for October & Editor's highlight in Communications Physics, 2020 How friction in liquids emerges from conservative forces between atoms is currently not well understood. We combine frequency-resolved simulation data with theory to show that the friction felt by a single molecule occurs abruptly below a certain frequency. Details: Commun. Phys. 3, 126 (2020)
	Experiment & theory story in Physical Review Letters, 2020 Directional locking is observed when a colloidal monolayer is driven across and interacts with a triangular lattice of magnetic bubbles. While single particles show no preferred direction, collective effects induce transversal current and directional locking at high density via a spontaneous symmetry breaking. Details: Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 058002 (2020)
	Rapid Communication & Editor's suggestion in Physical Review Research, 2019 We suggest a theoretical framework to understand how colloidal swimmers propel, interact and assemble in a nematic liquid crystal media by an alternating current electric field. Our results demonstrate importance of hydrodynamic interactions on the assembly of driven microscale matter in anisotropic media. Details: Phys. Rev. Research 1, 022008(R) (2019)
