Oriol Mañé Benach @oriolmb.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Very excited to finally share NeMo! 🌀🐟 Such a cool tool for anyone working with curved surfaces, and especially curved nematics. Really happy to have been part of this project and great team! arxiv.org/abs/2609.12906 0197
Oriol Mañé Benach @oriolmb.bsky.social · 24/04/2026Very nice work from colleagues on the nematic organization of cellular tissues👇 Great to see such a clear focus on how parameter choices influence the analysis and the conclusions we draw, together with a detailed look at defect behavior across cell types! 052
