Dynamics of neuronal avalanches and other collective behavior  By Karin A. Dahmen,. Department of Physics, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, at ESPCI, Room Charpak, entrance building, ground floor. The tasks of neural computation are remarkably diverse. To function optimally, neuronal networks have been hypothesized to operate near a nonequilibrium critical point. We use the…

The title of Alexandra's talk is "Climate and Collections: Impact of Climatic Variations on the Mechanical Behavior of Heritage Materials". Climate and Collections: Impact of Climatic Variations on the Mechanical Behavior of Heritage Materials In the…

Universal Features of Emergent Electronic Fractals in Quantum Material by Erica W. Carlson, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Purdue University, at ESPCI, Room Charpak, entrance building, ground floor.  Electrons inside of many quantum materials spontaneously form clumpy patterns on multiple length scales. By importing techniques from disordered statistical mechanics into the field of quantum materials, we…

Pr Arvind Murugan from University of Chicago at CBI for a chaire Joliot. He will present his work below, Wednesday 18th of June at 11h, amphi CHARPAK: Evolution of error-correction through a need for speed.    Physicists have long seen life as a non-equilibrium process that fights the 2nd law of thermodynamics by maintaining order.  While…
