Delighted to announce that Professor Hitoshi Gotoh and I have just published a book entitled "Advanced Particle Methods". Preorder has just started. This book presents the principles of continuum mechanics, the associated mathematical modelling and the numerical particle-based

Russia's slaughter of Ukrainian civilians continues, while the resolve of some in Europe weakens. Learning from the blood-soaked history of our continent means stating that Putin must fail & supporting Ukraine accordingly.

Wow. Given the year-to-year variability before 2023, the temperature in 2024 just looks like something that shouldn't be physically possible.

Have you ever wondered about the relation between intra-particle #glass transition and colloidal aggregation stability? Find out the answer at Carmine's Keynote talk at ECIS 2024 starting in Copenhagen #colloids #ECIS2024 👉 apps.m-anage.com/ecis2024/en-GB…

How many conferences do you want to attend as a PI every year? 5-6? After that honestly I think it becomes a bit ridiculous, besides being useless and expensive

A new study Chemical Engineering Science (CES) applies our 2016 Mura & Zaccone theory of crystal #nucleation under shear flow (doi.org/10.1103/PhysRe……) to predict substantially higher rates of #ice formation in supercooled #water under shear flow: doi.org/10.1016/j.ces.…

An ab initio study on transition-metal-based superconductors confirms our theoretical prediction (doi.org/10.1103/PhysRe…) of anharmonicity greatly enhancing the superconductinvity due to the increased range in energy of the "glue" given by damped phonons: doi.org/10.1103/PhysRe…

This is Taiwan. Taiwan is a country.

Nel 1997 Salvini comincia a lavorare per la Padania. Ma il direttore Gigi Moncalvo non ne ha un bel ricordo: “Matteo Salvini è stato per due anni redattore della Padania, il giornale che dirigevo. Chiesi il suo licenziamento inviando due lettere di contestazioni dettagliate

Dont beleive the #quantum hype! Quantum is a great fundamental research field - always was always will be. At some point we will leverage it for commercial devices but likely not what u hear about today. great video from Sabine Hossenfelder youtube.com/watch?v=RtDwpO…
