We are excited to announce Physical Networks IV, a satellite at NetSci2026 @netsciconf.bsky.social in Boston on June 2, 2026. This fourth edition continues our effort to gather interdisciplinary researchers working with tangible networked systems.
What a wondeful way to start the year! "Mining higher-order triadic interactions" is now published in Nature Communications!

Nighttime cityscape of Tokyo with dense illuminated skyscrapers and Tokyo Tower glowing orange on the right. Centered over the skyline is the EUโJapan logo combining the European Union and Japanese flags, with the text โEUโJAPANโ and โHORIZON EUROPEโ beneath it. The European Commission logo appears in the bottom-right corner.
Japan is joining Horizon Europe, the EUโs flagship research and innovation programme.
Openness and international cooperation can shape a bright future for science and technology.
Through science, we can build bridges, strengthen competitiveness, and accelerate the green and digital transitions.
