S. Prelovšek Komelj (JSI) and M. Padmanath (Mainz) find evidence for the longest-lived exotic hadron. Their article in Physical Review Letters establishes this state with an ab-initio theoretical study for the first time.  Experiments have recently discovered exotic hadrons that consist … Read More

Prof. dr. Saša Prelovšek Komelj presented a plenary review entitled “Hadron physics: theory”  at one of the central symposiums in particle physics – the Lepton Photon symposium held in January 2022. She reviewed the current theoretical understanding of exotic and … Read More

  V reviji Physical Review Letters je mladi raziskovalec Jan Šuntajs skupaj z mentorjem dr. Levom Vidmarjem objavil članek z naslovom “Ergodicity breaking transition in zero dimensions“. V njem opiše nekatere osrednje spektralne lastnosti novega tipa faznih prehodov: prehoda med … Read More

V odseku News and Views revije Nature je izšel članek “Bozonska tekočina ujeta v majhni napravi”, katerega avtorja sta Denis Golež [ Odseka za teoretično fiziko, Odsek za kompleksne snovi in Fakultete za matematiko in fiziko Univerze v Ljubljani] in … Read More

Sodelavec odseka Rok Žitko je sodeloval v seriji oddaj Frekvence X “Kvantna prihodnost” na drugem programu Radia Slovenija (Val 202) na temo kvantnih tehnologij. Posnetki so na voljo v obliki podcastov: 1/3: Prvi koraki do kvantne premoči 2/3: Teleportacija? Tudi … Read More

There is an opening for a Ph.D. and/or Postdoc positions at Jozef Stefan Institute as a part of a funding program of Slovenian Research Fund (ARRS). The candidate will focus on the nonequilibrium quantum dynamics to study problems at the … Read More

V skupini za trdno snov nudimo teme za magistrska dela. Problematike: topološki izolatorji (Rejec, Žitko, Ramšak, Mravlje) vpliv nereda in večdelčna lokalizacija (Vidmar, Bonča, Lenarčič) dinamična teorija povprečnega polja (Žitko, Mravlje) študij transportnih lastnosti v koreliranih snoveh (Žitko, Mravlje, Vidmar, … Read More

We are inviting applications for a postdoctoral position in the condensed matter group of the Department of Theoretical Physics at the Jožef Stefan Institute (Ljubljana, Slovenia), supervised by Jernej Mravlje. The main subject of the research is the electronic transport … Read More

  Electrostatic interactions are crucial for the assembly, disassembly, and stability of proteinaceous viral capsids. Moreover, at the molecular scale, elucidating the organization and structure of the capsid proteins in response to an approaching nanoprobe is a major challenge in … Read More

On December 10, 2021, Prof. Nataša Vaupotič and Dr. Matej Kanduč from our department received Zois distinctions for their scientific research. The Zois distinction is a state award for important achievements in scientific research and development. Prof. Vaupotič was awarded … Read More

Clonal dominance is a phenomenon whereby the descendants of one of a few founder cells contribute disproportionally to the system. In contexts such as bacterial growth, this phenomenon is often attributed to pre-existing genetic or positional propensities for dominance. However, … Read More

Active cell-junction remodeling is important for tissue morphogenesis, yet its underlying physics is not understood. In their recent paper published in Physical Review Letters, Matej Krajnc and Clément Zankoc studied a mechanical model of cell-cell junctions that describes junctions as dynamic … Read More

The performance of gold nanoparticles (NPs) in applications depends critically on the structure of the NP-solvent interface, at which the electrostatic surface polarization is one of the key characteristics that affect hydration, ionic adsorption, and electrochemical reactions. Using classical molecular … Read More
