Soft matter student talks
On Friday 3 June 2022 at 9:30 AM we are hosting short presentations by:
Piotr Śmieja
Analysis of the solution dolines in the southwestern Slovenia
Solution dolines are a predominant feature of the limestone karst plateaus in southwestern Slovenia. Their origin is attributed to the reactive-infiltration instability in the carbonate rock dissolution. They are an interesting object of study not only from the geographical but also physical point of view. I will present a short summary of my analysis of their shapes and spatial distribution including methods used and obtained results.
Hanifah Darmawanti
Analysis of renaissance ceramics body and pigments by non-invasive X-Rays Fluorescence technique
The research aims to investigate and analyse the characteristics of ceramics' bodies and the composition of pigments on their decorations. By using fluorescent X-Rays spectroscopy (XRF) technique, the assessment of materials, ages, and elements present even in trace amounts in art pieces help us to understand the artists' method of creating them and also to maintain those art pieces. This analysis uses the characteristic low energy X-Rays to identify the elemental composition of the objects' surface.
Maks Walewski
What ultracold physics can teach us about life?
Cooling atomic, ionic and molecular systems down to ultracold temperatures offer insight into a wide set of otherwise unobservable quantum phenomena. I am going to describe the reasons behind it and show how they can help us understand the preference for the molecules of one handedness over the other, manifest in the biological systems.
