Congratulations to Yi Hu who has been awarded a 3rd Place of GSOFT Poster Prize on 2018 APS March Meeting.
With 30 pages of handwritten calculations, Duke postdoctoral fellow Sho Yaida has laid to rest a 30-year-old mystery about the nature of glass and disordered materials at low temperatures. The work came out in Physical Review Letters. Learn more on Continue reading Sho Yaida Solves 30-Year Mystery
Patrick Charbonneau is co-organizing a KITP program entitled “The Rough High-Dimensional Landscape Problem” in Santa Barbara, early 2019. The application deadline is Nov 19, 2017.
Patrick Charbonneau gets interviewed by France-Science.org, talking about the collaboration with French researchers on the glass problem. See the full text on france-science.org.
Prof. Charbonneau is the 2018 APS GSOFT Program Chair. More details will soon be posted.
The Charbonneau group and collaborators have recently found evidence for an exotic phase transition that might underlie the behavioral difference between amorphous solids and crystallines. The results appear on the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, USA.
Professor Patrick Charbonneau and an international team of physicists have been awarded four years of support from the Simons Foundation to seek a clearer understanding of the physics of glass. More information about this team can be found here.
Prof. Charbonneau’s glass-forming liquids featured in French popular science magazine, La Recherche. Here is the link to the article.
Yuan Zhuang has recently made a breakthrough in the description of the periodic microphases. The results can be found in Physical Review Letters.
Congratulations to Prof. Charbonneau who has received tenure from Duke University and promotion to Associate Professor!
