An accessible story on our recent @CommsPhys is now out on Phys.org:

Do Arrhenius laws hold up for rare events with long-term memory? Not really.
This study goes beyond the Arrhenius paradigm, describing an approach that can predict the joint distribution of how often rare events will occur in succession.
Read the paper: go.aps.org/4hkXPW9
ALT Figure with two graphs. The left one shows the distribution of first passage times F(t), renormalized by F(0). Blue and orange symbols show the simulations. Dashed lines show the prediction. The right graph shows the quantity del2/L2, measuring the deviation of F(t) from the exponential distribution. Green and orange symbols show simulations and lines show the predictions.

Very Happy to share this @PhysRevX highlight of our just published article, from a collaboration between our group at @UninaIT II and Walter Kob at the University of Montpellier.
Using large scale simulations, scientists studied the dynamical properties at temperatures significantly below the mode-coupling temperature, showing how the relaxation dynamics differ below this temperature and revealing unexpected scaling laws.

ALT Figure showing scaling laws observed in time correlation functions. The first shows the mean squared displacement as a function of time divided by the Fickian time. The second shows the self intermediate scattering function. The third shows dynamic susceptibility as a function of scaled frequency at different temperatures. The fourth shows the Fickian time compared to T-alpha above and below the mode-coupling temperature. The last shows a non-Gaussian parameter as a function of time for various temperatures.

A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT.
He knows his time is running out.
So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour.
He died 5 months later.
This is that lecture.
The most important hour you'll watch this week. 👇
Bookmark it for later

A professor at MIT spent his life studying uncertainty.
Near the end, he compressed everything into a single one-hour lecture.
No buzzwords. No heavy theory.
Just a clear explanation of how prediction really works.
Not long after, he was gone.
This is that talk.
The idea at its core is simple but powerful:
prediction isn’t about being certain
it’s about understanding probabilities
Most people will scroll past it.
A few will see it and start thinking differently.
Save it.

Perché ignorare la cultura scientifica è pericoloso? Perché significa non essere più in grado di capire quel che succede nel mondo, non saper “leggere” il proprio tempo. La cultura classica e quella scientifica continuano a rimanere separate, o almeno quella classica continua a ignorare i valori di quella scientifica. […] Per troppo tempo abbiamo parlato di “due culture”. In realtà ne esiste una sola, che deve saper fondere il patrimonio umanistico con quello scientifico. Perché solo chi riesce a navigare in entrambi i mondi può contribuire a scrivere il futuro con intelligenza, responsabilità e creatività.

Ma non crede che questo sia un problema? Sapere o non sapere cosa succede in una parte del mondo dipende (e dipenderà sempre di più) dalla volontà o meno di una persona di fare in modo che si sappia. Non lo trova pericolosissimo?

#rheology #openscience #microscopy
We are pleased to share our latest work on ShearView: a compact, open-source rheometer compatible with optical microscopy, designed to enable synchronized rheology–microscopy measurements.
Hypocritical and quite ridiculous — i.e., fully in line with the dominant mood in much of the modern scientific community.
The editors at @Nature must be living in an alternate universe to think this is going to help the credibility of science in any way. Just say no.
When purely repulsive colloidal suspensions behave like attractive ones… A nice experimental collaboration among @UninaIT, @ESPCI_Paris, @CNRS, and @ProcterGamble on polydisperse vesicles — now published in @SoftMatter: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti… @ESIVienna @SoftCompNetwork
