The macroscopic properties of quantum materials arise from microscopic quantum phenomena and cannot be understood solely through classical physics and chemistry. Sometimes, they behave entirely counter to intuition. In an article recently published in the journal Nature, a group of … Read More

Dr. Zala Lenarčič from the Department for Theoretical Physics at Jožef Stefan Institute published “A Hubbard exciton fluid in a photo-doped antiferromagnetic Mott insulator” as a Nature Physics article, together with colleagues from California Institute of Technology (USA), University of … Read More

Zala Lenarčič je po študiju fizike na Fakulteti za matematiko in fiziko Univerze v Ljubljani kot mlada raziskovalka na Odseku za teoretično fiziko Instituta Jožef Stefan in asistentka na fakulteti vpisala tudi doktorat, ki ga je leta 2015 uspešno zagovarjala. … Read More

A recent publication by M. Šako, F. Staniscia, and M. Kanduč in PNAS Nexus unveils the conditions under which lipid monolayers can spontaneously self-assemble on solid substrates. Although it has long been known that this process requires a sufficiently hydrophobic … Read More

Urška Andrenšek, Primož Ziherl, and Matej Krajnc published a paper in Physical Review Letters. In their work, they investigate the elasticity of an unsupported epithelial monolayer and they discover that unlike a thin solid plate, which wrinkles if geometrically incompatible … Read More

The workshop will take place in Ljubljana, August 27–30, 2023. It aims to identify the most exciting prospects and challenges in the field. It will host the most far distinguished researchers worldwide, experimentalists and theorists alike. There will be time … Read More

While the temperature-responsive behavior of nonionic polymers has been extensively studied and is nowadays one of the key mechanisms of smart materials, the pressure response of thin films remains basically unexplored. We investigate the conformational transition of nonionic brushes and … Read More

Lithium/sulfur batteries are a promising candidate for the post-lithium-ion era thanks to their high energy density and environmental friendliness. However, complex degradation mechanisms and a poor understanding of the polysulfide (PS) molecular structure and ether-based components have hindered their broad … Read More

Understanding protein packing and morphological transformations in virus shells (capsids) during their maturation can be pivotal for developing new antiviral strategies. Anže Božič and coworkers studied how these principles manifest themselves in icosahedral viral capsids assembled from identical symmetric structural … Read More
