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
Soft Matter at Doors Open Day
The soft matter physics group part of the Institute for Condensed Matter and Complex Systems took part in Doors Open Day, Edinburgh on 26th of September in the James Clerk Maxwell Building.
Soft Matter and Functional Interfaces | School of Engineering | School of Engineering
The SOFI CDT is formed by the three universities: Durham University, University of Edinburgh and the University of Leeds in a global consortium with industrial partners, major research facilities and international universities and institutes.
Direct detection of Dark Matter
PhD project: Direct detection of Dark Matter . Astronomical evidence strongly suggests that the baryonic matter (the neutrons, protons, electrons etc. ... The group has responsibility for several aspects of research, principally including searches for
Status of the LZ Dark Matter Experiment
Construction of the LUX ZEPLIN (LZ) dark matter experiment, set to start taking data next year, is well underway at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in South Dakota. Containing a total of 10 tonnes of liquid xenon, LZ will be the
What’s in the box, and does it matter ?
All students and staff welcome. Speaker Prof Ross Galloway (School of Physics and Astronomy) Talk What’s in the box, and does it matter ?: 'Black box' experiments to promote exploratory thinking. Refreshments Meet at 16.30 outside the lecture
Pattern formation in active matter systems
'Active matter ' is used to describe non-equilibrium systems made up of elements which constantly take energy from their environment and use it to do work. Many biological systems can be viewed as active matter . Examples include the cytoskeleton,
Scientists close in on dark matter
Scientists have refined their search for dark matter with the completion of a sophisticated experiment.
Dark Matter searches with DAMIC detectors
DAMIC for Dark Matter In CCD is a program of direct dark matter search using thick CCDs as target and sensor. Thanks to the precise energy estimation, the spatial resolution and the very low noise of these sensors, DAMIC is sensitive to low mass
Axion dark matter : crisis and opportunity
Axions are an increasingly popular dark matter candidate with a flourishing experimental campaign now poised to discover them if they exist. However there is a potential crisis lurking within this model which could make a discovery impossible, even
