Največje uganke vesolja s prof. dr. Miho Nemevškom v pogovorni oddaji “Radiovedni” na Valu 202
V zadnji februarski oddaji “Radiovedni” na Valu 202 je naš sodelavec prof. dr. Miha Nemevšek sodeloval v pogovoru z voditeljem Nikom Škrlecom o eni izmed največjih ugank sodobne znanosti – temni snovi. Zakaj največji neznanki sodobne znanosti rečemo temna snov? … Read More
dr. Denis Golež participated in Nature Physics publication: Picosecond volume expansion drives a later-time insulator–metal transition in a nano-textured Mott insulator
There is significant technological interest in developing ever faster switching between different electronic and magnetic states of matter. Manipulating properties at terahertz rates requires accessing the intrinsic timescales of both electrons and associated phonons, which is possible with short-pulse photoexcitation. … Read More
