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
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
The 16th Xmas Biophysics Workshop returns the series to its old tracks and will take place on December 12th and 13th at Elegans Hotel in Brdo, Slovenia. The workshop traditionally brings together researchers in biophysics from Croatia, Italy, Austria, Slovenia, … Read More
