Philipp Schicho: Gauge-invariant bubble nucleation rate in finite temperature effective field theory
A gauge-invariant framework for computing bubble nucleation rates at finite temperature in the presence of radiative barriers was presented and advocated for model-building and phenomenological studies in an accompanying article arXiv:2112.05472. Here, we detail this computation using the Abelian Higgs…

We study the spreading of mercury droplets on thin metal (silver or gold) films on glass at room temperature, which is the only known system of reactive-wetting at room temperature. We show that there exist two main regimes, the bulk propagation regime and…

[Biophysics seminar] Ajasja Ljubetič: “A completely de novo designed protein random walker/roller”
Powered protein walkers such as kinesin, dynein or myosin are responsible for most movements within the cell and for the transport of crucial cargo. Design of static monomeric and oligomeric protein structures has advanced tremendously; however large dynamic protein mechanisms…
