Jan Rozman (Oxford University), Matej Krajnc, and Primož Ziherl have published a paper titled “Basolateral cell mechanics prevents rigidity transition in epithelial monolayers” in Physical Review Letters. In this study, the authors employ a three-dimensional vertex model to explore how … Read More
The Department of Theoretical Physics and the Department of Condensed Matter Physics (coordinated by prof. dr. Andrej Zorko), together with 11 other departments at the Jožef Stefan Institute, were awarded the MSCA Cofund project “Slovenian Quantum Science Hub” (SQUASH). Project … Read More
Remarkable advances in the understanding of topological constraints in biological and soft matter physics in the past few years stimulated the European COST collaboration EUTOPIA to write a comprehensive review paper on topological effects in systems ranging from DNA and … Read More
Dr. Matej Krajnc has been awarded RSF funding for his FUTURE project, titled “MEchanics, Topology, And Geometry of Natural Optimizing Networks.” The RSF Committee announced the award after reviewing 42 proposals, including 22 under the FUTURE category. Following a rigorous … Read More
Understanding how much gas shale reservoirs can hold is crucial for efficient gas extraction and carbon sequestration. Our computer simulations reveal that traditional methods, which use helium as a proxy, overestimate these capacities by a factor of two, highlighting the … Read More
The meeting will take place in Tehnopark in Celje from 6 – 7 June 2024. It will cover various topics in biophysics ranging from molecules to cells and tissues.
Urška Andrenšek, Primož Ziherl in Matej Krajnc z Odseka za teoretično fiziko Instituta “Jožef Stefan” so s sodelavci z Université Côte d’Azur v reviji Developmental Cell objavili članek z naslovom A mechanical wave travels along a genetic guide to drive the … Read More
Obveščamo vas, da bodo od 18. do 23. marca tradicionalno potekali Dnevi Jožefa Stefana, ki jih že od leta 1993 izvajamo v počastitev rojstnega dneva slovitega fizika Jožefa Stefana, katerega ime nosi naš inštitut. To je teden, ko odpremo vrata … Read More
The Slovenian Biophysical Society welcomes members from the Department of Theoretical Physics (F1) to its newly formed board, with Dr. Matej Kanduč as President, Dr. Matej Krajnc as Secretary, and Dr. Anže Rapoš Božič. The society is dedicated to advancing … 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
