L’AGENDA CHIMIE PARISTECH - PSL

Jeudi 29 Avril 2021 à 11h, Arnab Pal (Tel Aviv University) nous parlera de « Uncertainty relation for enzymes, resetting systems, and other processes with irreversible transitions ».   The thermodynamic uncertainty relation (TUR) shows that the fluctuations of currents are bounded from below by the inverse entropy production. When one or more transitions are…

The C3M Unit is organizing an open international visio-conference on Thursday 6 May at 9.30 am. We will virtually welcome Pr. Gi-Ra Yi (South Korea), who will talk about Index-Matched Composite Colloidal Crystals of Core–Shell Particles for Strong Structural Colors and Optical Transparency.    Speaker: Gi-Ra Yi Department of Chemical Engineering Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), Pohang, Gyeongbuk, 37673 Republic…

Non-thermal photo-induced metallic phase emerging from nanoscale complexity in correlated quantum materials   Claudio Giannetti Università Cattolica Brescia   The interplay between electronic and lattice degrees of freedom in correlated materials often leads to spontaneous nanoscale architectures, which can favour and stabilize photoinduced emergent states with no counterpart at equilibrium. State-of-the-art light excitation protocols offer…

On Monday 10th May at 11:30, we will have the pleasure to listen to a duo of speakers Tamara Ben Ari (INRAE) and Olivier Berné (CNRS) who will talk about a very nice initiative called Labos 1point5 which aims at reducing the environmental footprint of academic research. You will find the abstract and the zoom…

Learning probability distributions from data: applications to Protein Design and predictions of Mutational effects. In this talk I will  introduce the inference of a graphical model, also called Potts model in statistical physics, from sequence data of a protein family . Such models help in establishing the mapping  between the sequence of a protein and…

Magnetic Resonance of  Porous Media and  Brain Yiqiao Song   School of Engineering and Applied Science, Harvard and  Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, Massachusetts General Hospital     Porous material is ubiquitous in nature and human life: rocks, soil, wood, food, and biological tissues are good examples. They are intrinsically multi-phasic, and their microstructure is…

Capillary surfers  Giuseppe Pucci National Research Council of Italy (CNR-Nanotec), Calabria, Italy Active systems have recently attracted considerable interest for the possibility of extending statistical mechanics to incorporate non-equilibrium phenomena, as their constituents locally consume energy in order to move or exert forces on each other. There has been extensive work on dissipation and inertia-dominated active systems (e.g. bacterial suspensions and fish schools, respectively),…

IMAP 2021 Webinar series 3rd of June 2021 at 4pm Online (contact for registration)   Taking a New Solid CO2 Sorbent from Discovery to Commercialization Prof. George Shimizu Department of Chemistry, University of Calgary, Canada Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are transcending from fundamental to applied research, but their use in a large-scale process has not…
