The recently issued Encyclopedia of Particle Physics aims at a pedagogical introduction to the majority of topics in elementary particle physics. It is targeted at physicists in general and includes theory and experiment. Prof. Sasa Prelovsek Komelj wrote a chapter … Read More

Researchers from our Department of Theoretical Physics and the Department of Experimental Particle Physics at the Jožef Stefan Institute actively participated in the preparation of the update to the European Strategy for Particle Physics, which was adopted by the CERN Council … Read More

Ivan Vujmilović, doc. dr. Luka Leskovec and prof. dr. Saša Prelovšek Komelj have, for the first time, calculated the internal structure of an exotic particle made of four quarks using ab-initio large-scale numerical simulations of quantum chromodynamics. The study was done … Read More

Vabljeni k poslušanju nove epizode ASEF podcasta, v kateri gostuje naša sodelavka Nikiša Plešec. V pogovoru razkriva svojo zanimivo pot od umetniškega oblikovanja do teoretične fizike delcev, kjer sta ključna tako struktura kot domišljija. Nikiša podrobneje predstavi svoje raziskovalno delo … Read More

Department of Theoretical Physics at the Jozef Stefan Institute is announcing a PhD student position in theoretical particle physics.   The recipient will be hosted by the particle physics group in a dynamic environment with regular events: international workshops, group … Read More

We are hapy to announce that our colleague, dr. Luka Pavešić, has been honored with the Golden Emblem of Jožef Stefan (Zlati znak Jožefa Stefana) during the 34th Jožef Stefan Days. This prestigious award recognizes the exceptional impact and international … Read More

Assist. Prof. Jan Rozman, together with collaborators from the University of Lisbon and Oxford University, published the article “Multi-phase field model reveals internal dissipation is crucial for spontaneous hole formation in cell monolayers” in Nature Communications. Using a multi-phase field … Read More

Based on the 2025 internal calls for proposals for RSF START, FUTURE and IND projects, the winners of RSF projects for 2026 have been announced. Among the recipients is our colleague dr. Jan Rozman, who was awarded an RSF START … Read More

It’s often thought that liquids cannot be stretched — pull on them, and they simply break by forming bubbles. Yet remarkably, plant sap flows under negative pressures of up to –100 atm without forming bubbles. We show that amphiphilic molecules … Read More

New research by Fabio Staniscia and Matej Kanduč, published in the Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, reveals how the shape and size of water nanodroplets and nanobubbles influence the adsorption of amphiphilic molecules. Using molecular simulations, the study shows … Read More

Electrostatic interactions play a key role in the behavior of soft and biological matter, yet their complexity increases when particle charge distributions are inhomogeneous. Dr. Anže Božič and his collaborators from FMF, University of Padova, and TU Wien recently published … Read More
