From Maciej.Lisicki at fuw.edu.pl Mon Dec 1 16:56:23 2025 From: Maciej.Lisicki at fuw.edu.pl (Maciej Lisicki) Date: Mon, 1 Dec 2025 16:56:23 +0100 Subject: [Soft-matter] Soft Matter & Complex Systems Seminar on 5 Dec 2025 Message-ID: Dear Soft Matter & Complex Systems Colleagues and Friends, On Friday 5 December 2025 at 9:30 AM at the UW Faculty of Physics (Pasteura 5, Warsaw; room 1.40) we are hosting a seminar, during which Antoine Sellier (LadHyX, Ecole Polytechnique, Palaiseau, France)) will give a talk Stokes flow about a collection of slip solid bodies Abstract A boundary efficient and accurate method is proposed and numerically worked out to calculate, in the creeping flow regime, the resistance matrix of a cluster made of N arbitrarily-shaped slip solid bodies. The slip on each body curved surface is modeled using the widely-employed Navier slip condition and there is no restriction on the number N of bodies. Moreover, the task reduces to the treatment of 6N boundary-integral equations on the cluster surface and it is no use calculating the Stokes flow about the moving particles. Comparisons with the literature for one sphere (singularity method) and for two-interacting spheres (multipole method) will be presented. Finally, some numerical results for slip ellipsoids and the gravity-driven motion of two slip interacting spheres will be given and discussed. We warmly welcome everyone to attend the talk and the Soft Matter Coffee Break after the seminar, held in room 2.63 (2nd floor).

Highly charged polyanionic proteins, in particular, are responsible for the regulation of biomineralisation by living organisms. We have proposed a physical framework that links the hydrodynamic and electrostatic properties of intrinsically disordered, acid-rich proteins with their function in biomineralisation, whereby the sequence-encoded charge distribution determines the hydrodynamic dimensions and flexibility of the protein chain, the local binding affinity regulates condensation behaviour, and liquid condensates that form in crowded conditions provide microenvironments that control mineral nucleation, growth, and edge development. This cascade: from protein structural disorder, through hydrodynamic behaviour and electrostatic collapse, to the formation of phase-separated liquid precursors of solid phases?represents a universal mechanism by which soft, dynamic biomolecular systems can control the formation of solid-state materials. We warmly welcome everyone to attend the talk and the Soft Matter Coffee Break after the seminar, held in room 2.63 (2nd floor).

Demkowicz-Dobrza?ski (IFT UW, Warsaw) will give a talk Quantum Metrology - an almost perfect theory with just a few cracks Abstract: Recent theoretical developments have rendered quantum metrology a mature field, where some of the most fundamental question have been answered and efficient computational tools developed. We have now a full understanding of quantum metrological potential in case of noisy single parameter estimation models, provided the noise may be assumed to be Markovian. Nevertheless, non-Markovian models remain challenging and efficient universal theoretical tools are still missing. Apart from that, multi-parameter estimation scenarios may pose a challenge even in the Markovian regime, not to mention non-Markovian one. Do not despair, though, some progress is being made? We warmly welcome everyone to attend the talk and the Soft Matter Coffee Break after the seminar, in room 2.63 (2nd floor).
