Upcoming Condensed and Living Matter Seminars
Condensed, Soft & Living Matter Seminar: Light Probes and Structural Color in Dense Complex Media: Lost Between Single and Multiple Scattering
Frank Scheffold (University of Fribourg, Switzerland)
Visible light can be used to probe dense, complex media such as colloidal suspensions or compact sediments. In liquid samples, the temporal fluctuations contain information about the local viscoelastic…
Condensed, Soft & Living Matter Seminar: Geometry for Many Body Systems: Geometrical Sum Rules and Lattice Models
Jie Wang (Temple University)
Geometry describes how quantum states change locally in parameter space and governs many important physical phenomena, including many-body phases and their responses. The classic example of zero-temperature…
Condensed, Soft & Living Matter Seminar: Living Stealthy Hyperuniformity
Alison Sweeney (Yale)
Structural color and transparency are common phenomena in life - these optical properties are found in many species of mammals, birds, insects, and even bacteria. This talk discusses our recent…
Condensed, Soft & Living Matter Seminar: Which Material is worth Studying? (from the viewpoint of quantum materials)
Leslie Schoop (Princeton)
Quantum materials are hoped to change technology in various aspects. However, most of the desired applications are hindered by the lack of suitable materials. While we know tens of thousands of crystalline…
