learned about the mysterious substance that makes up around 80% of all matter in the universe. ... Prize funds will be used to carry out research in topological problems in soft matter physics.

SuperNEMO and the mystery of matter

https://www.ph.ed.ac.uk/events/2018/78219-supernemo-and-the-mystery-of-matter

Why does the universe exist? Or rather - how did we end up with a universe made of matter , when matter and antimatter are created together? The SuperNEMO experiment is hoping to find some clues to this puzzle, by looking for neutrinoless double-beta

Exploring strongly interacting dark matter

https://www.ph.ed.ac.uk/events/2023/82997-exploring-strongly-interacting-dark-matter

Understanding the laws governing the dark matter dynamics in the Universe is undoubtedly one of the pressing questions inastro-particle physics. While investigations have focused on elementary particles as potential dark matter candidates, an

Dense active matter : topology in biology

https://www.ph.ed.ac.uk/events/2018/77028-dense-active-matter-topology-in-biology

Active materials such as bacteria, molecular motors and self-propelled colloids, are Nature’s engines. They continuously transform chemical energy from their environment to mechanical work. Dense active matter shows mesoscale turbulence, the
