Upcoming Condensed and Living Matter Seminars
Condensed and Living Matter Seminar: Randomness, Complexity, and the Biological Frontier
Pankaj Mehta (University of Boston)
The towering successes of twentieth century theoretical physics were marked by two guiding principles: symmetry and energy functionals (reflecting equilibrium dynamics). Yet how we…
Condensed and Living Matter Seminar: Learning the shape of the immune and protein universe
Armita Nourmohammad (University of Washington)
The adaptive immune system consists of highly diverse B- and T-cell receptors, which can recognize a multitude of diverse pathogens. Immune recognition relies on molecular interactions between…
Condensed and Living Matter Seminar: Optical neural networks for faster AI and super resolution imaging
Alex Lvovsky (University of Oxford)
Although machine intelligence is taking over the world, its current digital electronic platform is very inefficient in terms of energy consumption. Switching to analogue computation, which function more like human…
Condensed and Living Matter Seminar: TBA
Ben Machta (Yale University)
Condensed and Living Matter Seminar: Topology, Spin and Orbital in DNA-type Chiral Quantum Materials
Binghai Yan (Weizmann Institute of Science)
In chemistry and biochemistry, chirality represents the structural asymmetry characterized by non-superimposable mirror images for a material like DNA. In physics, however, chirality commonly refers…
