"Magnetically Confined Plasmas: the path towards a nuclear fusion reactor via the tokamaks JET & ITER"

Forschungszentrum Jülich and Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf (Germany)

The largest existing tokamak JET with metallic fist wall and 3m radius performed successful DT fusion plasmas with almost 60MJ fusion energy. JET gives final scientific input to the operation strategy of the next step device ITER. ITER, a magnetically confined plasma torus with 6.2m radius, will start operation in a few years and aims in a power amplification of at le ...

"Carbon-based nanomaterials towards electrochemical energy storage"

Dr. Tathagata Kar

Nanostructured multi-dimensional carbon materials feature in a myriad of energy-based applications ranging from electrocatalysts to supercapacitors and sensors to batteries. This is primarily because the environment-friendly, cost-effective, and well-conducting carbon-based materials possess excellent characteristics towards efficient electrochemical energy conversion ...

"Manipulating valley and spin behaviour in graphene nanostructures"

Dublin City University, Ireland

The discovery of graphene allows exotic new electron behaviours to be investigated. These properties motivate a range of new devices and technologies, and can be linked to interplays between the various symmetries that emerge in 2D systems. Here I present a few recent examples of how we can take advantage of these properties to control spin and valley currents. T ...

"Physics and modelling of granular materials on planetary surfaces"

Universität Duisburg-Essen, Germany

 The surfaces of Earth, Mars and many other celestial bodies of our solar system are mostly composed of granular materials, such as regolith, sand and dust. However, these materials are subject to a broad range of still poorly understood transport processes that have profound feedbacks with geology and climate. In this talk I will show how the modelling of these ...

"Transport through chiral networks of minimally twisted bilayer graphene"

Technische Universität Braunschweig, Germany

 Twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) consists of two graphene sheets on top of each other where one sheet is rotated with respect to the other leading to smooth moiré-like potentials where new physics emerges not shared by a single layer alone. I will discuss minimally TBG (rotation angle well below the magic angle) where an interlayer voltage leads to a networ ...

“Econophysics and the study of the Universal Statistical Properties of Financial and Socio-Economic Complex Systems Data”.

Universidad de Veracruz

Econophysics is an emergent Science that study Economic and Social Complex Systems by means of methodologies created by physicist to study physical systems (usually with a very big number of components or particles).In this talk is presented a brief review of Econophysics, its main areas of study and some Universal Statistical Properties of data from financial and soc ...

“Materiales 2D y sus superredes cristalinas”

ICF-UNAM

Con el surgimiento de los materiales bidimensionales, tales como el grafeno, el fosforeno, y el borofeno por mencionar unos cuantos, y paralelamente, el creciente interés de las superredes cristalinas, siendo el grafeno bicapa torsionado el ejemplo más destacado, se han considerado como plataformas ideales para la realización de fases topoló ...

"New materials for the quantum age"

Utrecht University, The Netherlands

Major advances in human civilization are driven by developments in materials. This is such a remarkable feature that historical eras are named after the material (and the related technology) that dominated that time. Today we live in the silicon era: Silicon technology enables our modern way of life via mobile phones, computers, automation. However, we are reaching th ...

"High resolution observations of protoplanetary disk structures"

Universidad Grenoble Alpes, Francia

Recent observing campaigns have revealed a great diversity in exoplanetary systems whose origin is yet to be understood. How and when planets form, and how they evolve and interact with their birth environment, the protoplanetary disks, are major open questions. Protoplanetary disks evolve and dissipate rapidly while planets are forming, implying a direct feedback bet ...

"Active flow of pedestrian crowds: from large-scale measurements to variational modeling"

Eindhoven University of Technology (Países bajos)

Pedestrians walk and choose their direction based on individual objectives and instantaneous traffic: this yields high variability in crowd dynamics, from diluted to dense regimes. Despite the unpredictability of single individuals, ensemble-level universal physical features emerge. These encompass frequent fluctuations and rare events within «solo» dynami ...
