during the spring of 2015 we had a lucky sequence of three seminars given by young colleagues who - in the recent past - have worked in our group, and are now exploring new interesting paths in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics; following the above link you can retrieve the titles, abstracts and slides of the three seminars.
Announcements
new!: our research is covered by Nova (science&technology from Il Sole 24 Ore) here
new!: just published on Phys. Rev. Lett, an experiment on cages and super-diffusion in a vibrated dense granular medium
* new!: A Springer Brief on granular fluids:
new!: A Springer-LNP on Large Deviations:
recent: an experiment on non-equilibrium Fluctuation-Dissipation relation, performed in our Granular Dynamics Lab, published on Plos One (open access!)
recent: a Brownian motor ("ratchet") effect driven only by dry friction , published on Phys. Rev. Lett.
experiments on a quasi-2d granular fluid with non-equilibrium-induced ("dissipative") structures
The Granular Dynamics Lab is open, have a look at the lab page
