Interface Focus Volume “Animal, Vegetal, Mineral”
The Interface Focus themed issue ‘Growth and function of complex form in biological tissue and synthetic self-assembly‘ was published today by the Royal Society, as volume 7, issue 4 of that journal. Thanks to all contributors, and to Publishing Editor Tim Holt for a great job. The issue is dedicated to the themes of the 2016 Boden Research Conference “Animal, Vegetal, Mineral” that was held in Yallingup/WA in 2016. Check below or online for the 20 articles that are part of this issue.
From Nature’s Nanoarchitectures to Nanofabricated Designs
Thanks to all speakers and attendants of last week’s Dresden DPG-symposium
Bioinspired Functional Materials: From Nature’s Nanoarchitectures to Nanofabricated Designs.
Held as an interdisciplinary symposium at the Spring Meeting of the German Physical Society (DPG) in Dresden from 19-24 March 2017, the symposium attracted all up around 300 or so attendants, for five excellent talk. The full program for this session is available here!
Focus session “New self-assembly topologies” at APS March Meeting
Always good to be back in New Orleans … this time a couple of weeks after Mardi Gras. This year’s APS March meeting was an excellent success with the GSOFT focus group more visible than ever, and many great sessions in the GSOFT, DPOLY, DBIO, SPNP and other sections, including our own focus session “New Mesophase Symmetries and Topologies in Self-Assembled Soft Matter“.
Animal, Vegetal, Mineral? Boden Research Conference
We hosted organised the 2016 Boden Research conference “Animal, Vegetal, Mineral”, held in Yallingup / Western Australia, from 19-23 Sept 2016, on the emergence and function of complex nanostructures in biological tissue and synthetic self-assembly. Here’s the final report and what attendees had to say about it: Read more
Conference Geometry and Physics of Random Spatial Structures, Black Forest 7-11 Sept 2015
Held in the picturesque Black Forest region of Germany from 7-11 September 2015, this conference will cover the mathematics and physics of disordered spatial structures and systems. Keynote speakers at this event include: Anton Bovier, Paul Chaikin, Wiebke Drenckhan, Matthew Kahle, Randall Kamien, Domenico Marinucci, Frank den Hollander and Rien van der Weygaert. We’re still accepting poster abstracts for this conference, see www.gpsrs.de
Shape Up 2015 : Exercises in Materials Geometry and Topology
We’re still accepting abstracts for what shapes up to be an exciting international conference on real-world materials, dead and alive, with complex spatial microstructures. An interdisciplinary discussion meeting on patterns and geometry, and their role in biological and synthetic microstructured materials and tissue. We invite contributions from biology, chemistry, materials science, mathematics, physics and related fields addressing the genesis, properties and function of complex nano-scale geometries, as well as underlying geometric and topological concepts for the study of complex structure and shape. More information can be found on www.shape-up.academy. See you in Berlin! Read more
