Towards a quantum theory of cosmology
En savoir plusThe celebrated singularity theorems of Penrose and Hawking imply that classically our universe had a singularity in its past. This breakdown of general relativity is a clear sign that we need a more complete theory in order to understand the big bang and the purported beginning of our universe – in particular it is expected…

Directed assembly of nanoparticles monitored by liquid crystal topological defects for advanced optical properties of the composites
En savoir plusDirected assembly of nanoparticles is a promising alternative for original nanoparticle organisations. New kinds of optical properties are expected when semi-conductive or metallic nanoparticles are concerned.

Special Colloquium: Fundamental limits on the thermodynamics of circuits
En savoir plusPolarizable One of the core concerns of computer science is how the resources needed to perform a given computation depend on that computation. Understanding the minimal resources required to perform a given computation has also been a long-standing focus of research in the physics community. Modern work on this issue can be traced back to…

Physics Seminar: Memory functions reveal structural properties of gene regulatory networks
En savoir plusGene regulatory networks (GRNs) control cellular function and decision making during tissue development and homeostasis. Mathematical tools based on dynamical systems theory are often used to model these networks, but the size and complexity of these models mean that their behaviour is not always intuitive and the underlying mechanisms can be difficult to decipher.

Physics Colloquium: Variations on a theme of Aharonov and Bohm
En savoir plusThe Aharonov-Bohm effect (AB) concerns the role in quantum physics of the magnetic vector potential of an impenetrable line of magnetic flux. Its partial anticipation by Ehrenberg and Siday, in terms of interference, was an approximation whose wavefunction was not singlevalued, and whose connection with the singlevalued AB wave involves topology: ‘whirling waves’ winding round…
