Higgs Centre for Theoretical Physics

This workshop launches the new virtual Edinburgh Centre for Biomedical Physics, http://biomedical-physics.ed.ac.uk.  The aim of the Centre and this workshop is to bring together researchers working in the domain of physics for medicine. Within the School of Physics and Astronomy and the College of Medicine and ...

The international workshop “Physics of Biological Systems”, will take place on May 27-29 2025 on the King’s Buildings campus of the University of Edinburgh. This is the second workshop of a series started last year, which aims to bring together a vibrant community of researchers working on the frontier ...

Soft materials and complex fluids are a fundamental component of modern industry and everyday life. Bioinspired materials research is at an exciting and rapidly advancing stage, where the intersection of biology, chemistry, physics and engineering is leading to groundbreaking innovations. The research focuses on harnessing complex structures and functions found ...

Biological cells have evolved to create elaborate internal partitions, which allow them to control biochemical and genetic processes in space and time. Increasing evidence indicates that some of these partitions are created by the phase separation of large biological molecules, in which complex mixtures of RNA and protein associate to ...
