2nd Physics of Matter Ph.D. Students Welcome Day
Ph.D. students represent one of the leading forces in the research activities that are conducted in our department. A successful Ph.D. program should, however, not uniquely be focused on guiding the candidates to produce -outstanding, as is often the case-scientific results, but also on helping them to establish an independent network of collaborations both inside …

From a Quantum of Matter to the Journal Club for Condensed Matter Physics
Circular polycatenanes, supramolecular objects composed of molecular rings interlocked to form a large ring, were the object of the second seminar of the series “A quantum of matter”. These objects have been shown to mimic the properties of double-stranded DNA rings: in particular, these supramolecular structures can exchange twist, a local property, with writhe, a …
