Light scalar particles are thought to play a role in cosmology, either as dark matter or dark energy candidates. If they couple to photons they could be emitted by stars, including our sun. I will first Introduce particular theoretical models of such light scalar fields and then discuss whether or ...

This "Non-equilibrium thermodynamics” workshop is sponsored by the RSC Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics group and by the Higgs Centre for Theoretical Physics. It is tailored to bring together early career researchers (post-docs and junior group leaders) working on statistical mechanics and thermodynamics. To celebrate the recent Nobel prize in physics ...

The aim of this meeting is to bring together UK researchers in lattice field theory. The program will contain a number of invited talks, showing the broad range of topics studied. Participants interested in bringing a poster are encouraged to indicate this in the registration form. Confirmed speakers: Sadaf Alam ...

Quantum information is a multidisciplinary research area attracting a lot of interest and achieving substantial progress across physics, mathematics and computer science. The goal of this three day workshop is to bring together leading scientists in these areas to discuss recent developments in scrambling dynamics and its relation to chaos ...

The aim of this inaugural meeting is to bring together researchers interested in complex network science and in particular the interplay between mathematical and simulation-based analysis of complex network structures and available data. The remit of SCONES is expected to be broad enough to incorporate many current topics in network ...

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 ...

The 10th edition of the Higgs Centre School of Theoretical Physics will take place from the 9th-13th of June 2025. The scientific programme starts at 9:00 on Monday the 9th, and ends at 17:00 on Friday the 13th. The School comprises two in-depth lecture series, each involving five ...

This coming June the Higgs Centre will co-host the next meeting of the Fundamental Physics UK series. This is an event allowing the physics theory community in the UK within the STFC remit to interact, share knowledge and foster new collaborations. The meeting will discuss recent developments in String/M-theory ...

Active matter has emerged as a field with strong ties to non-equilibrium soft condensed matter and biological physics. Successes of the field include describing the dynamics of motile microbes and flocks of birds, defect self-propulsion in liquid crystals, wound healing and tissue fluidization, modeling of colony growth, and much more ...

yt is a community-driven Python package for analyzing and visualizing complex spatial data. Since 2007, the yt package has expanded from supporting just a single astrophysical simulation data format to more than three dozen formats across several domains, including astronomy, seismology, nuclear engineering, molecular dynamics, oceanography, and satellite imaging. This ...
