Protein-protein interactions control how proteins behave in solution, dictating aggregation, crystallization, phase separation, and the colloidal stability of formulations central to pharmacology, food science, and biotechnology. Predicting this behavior has long been difficult: theories borrowed from classical colloid science fail … Read More

In my talk, I will present the so-called slingshot effect. It represents a general phenomenon that occurs when a localized source, such as a magnetic monopole, quark, or a D-brane, crosses a wall separating the confined (Higgsed) and unconfined (Coulomb) … Read More
