Polymer brushes with stimuli-responsive properties have attracted substantial research interest in the past few years, as they offer a wealth of opportunities to design materials that trigger structural and physico-chemical changes as a response to applied external stimuli. I will … Read More

Since more than 40 years several formal results hinted for additional effects beyond perturbation theory even at weak coupling in theories with a Brout-Englert-Higgs effects. In this talk analytical and lattice results are presented for processes, like vector boson scattering … Read More

Abstract: We consider a real scalar field in de Sitter background and compute its thermal propagators. Using arguments from holography we propose, in a dS/CFT context, that non-trivial thermal effects as seen by an ‘out’ observer can be encoded in … Read More

The 16th Xmas Biophysics Workshop returns the series to the 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

The trilateral meetings are a series of one day events designed to strengthen the scientific relations in particle, astroparticle physics and cosmology between Trieste, Nova Gorica and Ljubljana. The 6th event will take place at the Jožef Stefan Institut in Ljubljana. The program: … Read More

We will be discussing the following paper: https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2208034119 ("Elastic properties and shape of the Piezo dome underlying its mechanosensory function"). The meeting will take place in the seminar room of physics (106).

We study the vertex model for epithelial tissue mechanics extended to include coupling between the cell shapes and tensions in cell-cell junctions. This coupling represents an active force which drives the system out of equilibrium and leads to the formation … Read More
