This Topical Issue of EPJ B brings together a collection of articles on the recent progress of the theoretical aspects and application in statistical physics of complex systems.

A strong framework for comprehending the behavior of complex systems is provided by statistical physics. Complex systems have emergent properties, or global behaviors that result from local interactions but are difficult to reduce to their component parts. Numerous academic fields, including physics, biology, economics, and sociology, deal with complex systems. The brain's neural networks, ecosystems, social networks, financial markets, and even climate systems are a few examples. In this context, the main objective of statistical physics is to explain how microscopic interactions result in macroscopic properties like temperature, magnetization, or network connectivity. It accomplishes this by handling the numerous degrees of freedom present in complex systems using probabilistic techniques.

The articles selected in this volume provide a comprehensive survey of the recent and most relevant developments in statistical physics and its applications in the physical sciences and beyond. This collection balances traditional and novel topics, giving a voice to both well-established and emerging research thematics. We hope that the collection of papers selected in this Topical Issue could give a valuable snapshot of the present status in this rapidly expanding interdisciplinary research field. We expect that the theoretical physicists reading this collection should be able to determine which questions are still challenging and on the other hand, we expect that the experimental physicists may receive new suggestions and ideas for their measures.

All articles are available here and are freely accessible until 25 February 2025. For further information read the Editorial.

This was our first experience of publishing with EPJ Web of Conferences. We contacted the publisher in the middle of September, just one month prior to the Conference, but everything went through smoothly. We have had published MNPS Proceedings with different publishers in the past, and would like to tell that the EPJ Web of Conferences team was probably the best, very quick, helpful and interactive. Typically, we were getting responses from EPJ Web of Conferences team within less than an hour and have had help at every production stage.
We are very thankful to Solange Guenot, Web of Conferences Publishing Editor, and Isabelle Houlbert, Web of Conferences Production Editor, for their support. These ladies are top-level professionals, who made a great contribution to the success of this issue. We are fully satisfied with the publication of the Conference Proceedings and are looking forward to further cooperation. The publication was very fast, easy and of high quality. My colleagues and I strongly recommend EPJ Web of Conferences to anyone, who is interested in quick high-quality publication of conference proceedings.
