SERİM İLDAY MSN Graduate Program and UNAM In 1994 Erwin Schrödinger published an inspiring book titled “What Is Life? The Physical Aspect of the Living Cell.” Using only physical and mathematical reasoning, he concluded that the information necessary to replicate the living is most likely stored in an aperiodic crystal before the discovery of DNA. […]
ÖMER İLDAY MSN Graduate Program and UNAM Self-organization is the spontaneous emergence of an ordered state. Despite its ubiquity, how self-organization reduces entropy was never clarified. In this talk, we present a new theoretical framework, whereby we decompose a self-organized system into two parts, one that gets ordered and another that reduces the entropy of […]
T. SERKAN KASIRGA MSN Graduate Program and UNAM Strong electronic correlations among various degrees of freedoms in solids result in the emergence of fascinating phenomena. To name a few we can list metal-insulator transitions, charge density wave transitions and superconductivity. However, these phenomena are notoriously difficult to study experimentally as they are typically associated with […]
Wonmi Ahn MSN Graduate Program and UNAM Noble metal nanoparticles supporting collective oscillations of conduction electrons, i.e., surface plasmon resonances, exhibit excellent light-focusing ability and high spectral sensitivity to changes in the surrounding medium. These capabilities explain the increasing role of plasmonic nanomaterials in nanoimaging, sensing, energy, and biomedical applications. However, high dissipative losses in […]
Bilge Baytekin MSN Graduate Program and UNAM The mechanism of static electricity generation and mitigation on insulator surfaces upon rubbing/contact is one of the few scientific questions that have remained unanswered for millennia. Static charging (tribocharging) of insulators is not just a scientific mystery – it is also a significant problem, especially critical for various […]
Ayça Arslan Ergül MSN Graduate Program and UNAM In this talk I will not focus on one research, but instead I will try to give glimpses of all the topics that we work on or ideas that we nourish. In this way you may also join or contribute to one of the projects, if you […]
Aykut Erbaş MSN Graduate Program and UNAM There are over 40 million cells in our body. Despite carrying an identical genome, these cells are specialized into 200 different types to undertake particular biological tasks in various tissues. The main factor determining a cell’s biological identity is the type and amount of cell-specific proteins. In turn, […]
