Some Republicans criticized Trump. "This is the most shameful and embarrassing moment I have ever seen in the Oval Office."

Underfunding is a serious threat when universities face increased responsibilities to respond to multiple changes/challenges 🚨 70% of universities identify underfunding as one of the top 3️⃣ obstacles for improving learning and teaching. #EUATRENDS 2024: buff.ly/4k27IXJ

I am thrilled to announce that our application to organize the Nobel Symposium entitled “Metamaterials science and technology: structuring light and sound in space and time” has been funded by the the #NobelPrizeFoundation, through the #RoyalSwedishAcademyofSciences. More details will come soon!

Can someone explain to me in simple words what is the implication of having the density of states in 1D systems (nanowires) diverging at low energies? What is the main physical meaning of this result? I can explain the constant value in 2D, the dependence on sqrt(E) in 3D…but in 1D I am struggling!

Clearly in the dirty hands of incompetent and dangerous people.

Please spread the word, PhD position in our group! www.slu.se/en/about-slu...

I'm hiring, two fully funded PhD positions! Come work in Umeå in Arctic Sweden, a leading place for high-latitude ecosystem ecology and carbon biogeochemistry

What I think this world missed so far is a duo Gaga-Winehouse. A big missed opportunity for our universe.

This is a real problem but thankfully there is a solution!

Thoughts for the years and decades to come…

A new year 🎆 means a new Edition of our Workshop of #Plasmonics and #Nano-Optics 💡! The 2025 edition will be hosted by the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia #UniMoRe and #CNR-NANO; it will take place on June 25-27 in Complesso San Geminiano, in the historical heart of #Modena. Topics include:👇
