Summer school on theoretical aspects of calculations related to BSM searches at colliders (e.g. MC tools, analyses, machine learning techniques), QCD at high and low energies, phase transitions and gravitational waves.

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

Permeability is one of the most fundamental transport properties in soft matter physics, material engineering, and nanofluidics. Here, we report how the permeability can be massively tuned, even minimized or maximized, by tailoring the potential energy landscape for the diffusing … Read More

Pollen grains carry male plant genetic material, encapsulated in a hard protective shell containing flexible, soft regions—apertures. When pollen grains leave the protective environment of the anther, they are exposed to the often harsh external environment and start to lose … Read More

V reviji Nature je bila objavljena raziskava, pri kateri je sodeloval tudi Matej Krajnc. V članku z naslovom “Mechanics of a multilayer epithelium instruct tumour architecture and function” so Vincent F. Fiore z Univerze Rockefeller in sodelavci naslovili vlogo mehanike pri deformacijah … Read More

The study of organoids, artificially grown cell aggregates with the functionality and small-scale anatomy of real organs, is one of the most active areas of research in biology and biophysics, yet the basic physical origins of their different morphologies remain … Read More

What limits the ability of plants to take up water from dry soil? That is the question Matej Kanduč and his international research collaborators asked in an effort to solve the mystery of how plants suck water from the driest … Read More

The 9th Institute colloquium was given by Matej Kanduč from the Biophysics group: A large number of infectious diseases are transmitted via large droplets and by airborne routes. How far these droplets can move, how rapidly and strongly they deposit … Read More

The most striking feature of conventional quasicrystals is their non-traditional symmetry characterized by icosahedral, dodecagonal, decagonal or octagonal axes. The symmetry and the aperiodicity of these materials stem from an irrational ratio of two or more length scales controlling their … Read More
