Solid-state physics students, here’s another insightful lecture from Prof. Sandro Scandolo at the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP)! In this lecture, Sandro introduces the fundamental principles of lattices and crystal structures, covering Bravais lattices, atomic arrangements, and common crystal geometries in 2D and 3D. The discussion extends to crystal structures with multiple atomic species, laying the groundwork for understanding more complex materials in solid-state physics.

Today is a great day for cond-mat students: let's welcome Prof. Sandro Scandolo, Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), who joins Enabla with his first lecture exploring the microscopic structure of matter. In this introductory lecture, Sandro discusses the atomic and microscopic foundations of material properties, emphasizing the connections between quantum mechanics, classical mechanics, and real-world applications in materials science and engineering.

#Youtube just showed this #advertisement to me, and as someone with a doctorate in #SolidStatePhysics, I cannot help but be angry. About the name, that is.
They stole the fancy-sounding buzzword that we solid state physicists use instead of the boring-sounding "magneto-electronics" when we try to convince funding agencies to give us research money...
That aside, the game looks pretty cool though.
@FediFollows with #superconductivity being all over the news lately it would be great to know who to follow here in the fediverse for #CondensedMatter & #SolidStatePhysics 🧑🔬 so far I have found @Nanoscale and @JoshuahHeath
This biography of Millie Dresselhaus, Carbon Queen, is well worth a read
A new claim for a room temperature superconductor was made. Best to wait and see if this claim is valid.
"While the announcement has been greeted with enthusiasm by some scientists, others are far more cautious, pointing to the research group’s controversial history of alleged research malfeasance."

If you're interested in the history of solid-state physics this biography of John Bardeen is well worth a read.
If you're interested in the history of #solidstatephysics, have a couple of weeks (or months) to spare, & can find a decently priced second-hand copy, the nearly 700 pages of Out of the Crystal Maze are well worth a read. #historyofscience
Interesting article on the 2019 IEEE Medal of Honor winner, Kurt Petersen, who became an accidental evangelist for MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) after seeing a stain on a lab floor.
