Theory of superconductivity due to Ngai's mechanism in lightly doped SrTiO3    By M. V. Feigel’man L.D. Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics, Chernogolovka, Russia Skolkov Institute of Physics and Technology, Moscow,Russia   We develop a theory of superconducting pairing in low-density Strontium titanate due to quadratic coupling of electron density to soft transverse optical phonons.…

Well-defined Low-valent Cobalt complexes: Simpler and Easier to understand ? Marc Petit  Sorbonne Université   Where ? ESPCI Paris, escalier C, niveau 3, salle Cellule In this presentation we will discusses about two main themes, the common thread of which is organometallic catalysis with cobalt. One focuses on the activation of E-H bonds (with E…

Experimental-computational design of protein-based materials   Diego Lopez Barreiro (Delft University) https://dlopezbarreiro.github.io/   Exceptional SIMM seminar on Wednesday the 10th of November at 3.30pm in the amphi Boreau Engineers and scientists are increasingly working with Nature's structural proteins, such as silk, elastin, or collagen, to synthesise multifunctional materials for applications in biomedicine, biosensing, renewable energy,…

Toward a molecular picture of some key phenomena involved in the emergence of life: from thermophoresis to enzyme thermal adaptation Guillaume Stirnemann (CNRS, Laboratoire de Biochimie Théorique) The emergence of life is one of the most fascinating and yet largely unsolved questions in the natural sciences, and thus a significant challenge for scientists from many disciplines.…

Extreme deformation of soft matter: tuning colloidal gel microstructure with ultrasound and microbubbles Valeria Garbin, TU Delft Controlling the microstructure of soft materials is essential to impart properties for advanced applications, for instance to obtain acoustic or photonic metamaterials, or by modifying their mechanical response. Imposing a steady or oscillatory shear during the manufacturing process…

Introduction to continuous flow chemistry with an industrial perspective Dr. Carl J. Mallia (Astrazeneca, Macclesfield, UK) Abstract : This lecture will go through basic principles of continuous flow chemistry including different reactors, mixers used and Process Analytical Technology in flow. Furthermore, examples from academia and industry are also illustrated.
