Making Living Matter from the bottom up

https://www.ph.ed.ac.uk/events/2016/making-living-matter-from-the-bottom-up-66180

Abstract There are many ways to study life, and one that is particularly appealing to physicists is regarding it as self-organised active soft matter that is away from equilibrium 'just the right way'. In this Colloquium, I will discuss this notion,

Dark Matter searches with DAMIC detectors

https://www.ph.ed.ac.uk/events/2021/81813-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
