What do flocks of birds and bacterial cells have in common? More than you might think! Their movements, for one. Both can display coordinated, organised patterns much bigger than a single bird of bacteria. But what drives these patterns? To … 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
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
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
On 26 March 2025, the Jožef Stefan Institute awarded the Jožef Stefan Golden Emblem to encourage young researchers to be even more committed to scientific research, which is also a kind of call to action for the economy to use … Read More
Obveščamo vas, da bodo od 24. do 29. 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
Konferenca Dneva biofizike 2025 bo potekala 5. in 6. junija 2025 v Celjskem domu v Celju. Konferenca bo združila raziskovalce s področja biofizike ter sorodnih ved in ponudila priložnost za izmenjavo idej, predstavitev aktualnih raziskav in interdisciplinarno povezovanje. Še posebej … Read More
