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 […]
