We also introduce a "pathway" of configurations, that includes all the relevant orientations between two particles, providing a clean representation of the "important" slice of the potential energy landscape. Super useful!

We take two models describing particles with an heterogeneous surface charge and showed that they can be matched, yielding a considerable improvement of the more "approximated" of the two models. Importantly, the procedure can be extended beyond the setting we considered (the linear PB regime)

Thanks to @physicsmagazine.bsky.social for the nice synopsis! physics.aps.org/articles/v18...
Also our artwork made the cover of PRL 🤘

Thank you! I came here to carry on my long standing lurking activity
