Condensed Matter seminar: "Effects of substrate geometry on neuronal growth"

Cristian Staii, Tufts University
- DRL A4

Physical stimuli (stiffness of the growth substrate, gradients of various molecular species, geometry of the surrounding environment, traction forces etc.) play a key role in the wiring up of the nervous system. I…

Condensed Matter seminar: "Grain Growth: materials, curvature flow, topology"

David Srolovitz, Penn Materials Science & Engineering
DRL A4

Grain growth is the process through which a polycrystalline material coarsens.  Large grains grow, small grains shrink and disappear; the average grain size increases. This process is driven by the surface tension of…
