Transport

…gravity changes bubble dynamics, transport and efficiency; electrolyser designs that manage gas separation and withstand radiation and temperature extremes; battery interfaces, dendrites and durability; and fuel-cell catalysts, gas handling and closed-loop energy storage. Precirculated research papers support extended discussion among academic and industrial researchers and postgraduate students. The meeting is at Royal Society of Chemistry, Burlington House, Piccadilly, London W1J

…Lectures cover transport, carbon nanostructures and carbon nanotubes, theoretical and experimental biophysics, and connections between non-equilibrium physics and problems spanning cosmology to living systems. It is designed for master's and doctoral students and early-career postdoctoral researchers, requiring little prior experience of these advanced topics. Participants submit poster abstracts. There is no registration fee; limited attendance grants prioritize participants

The congress examines artificial materials and their effects on waves and transport. It connects engineering, physics, applied mathematics and materials research across electromagnetic, optical, photonic, acoustic, mechanical and coupled physical phenomena. The programme comprises a scientific conference on 13–16 September followed by a doctoral school on 17–18 September, providing opportunities to exchange current results and methods.

…to adsorption, desorption and transport through batch experiments, flow columns, surface measurements and high-resolution mass spectrometry. Work is shared between ETH Zurich and Eawag in Dübendorf, with academic, industrial and regulatory collaborators. The full-time fixed-term appointment is funded for up to two years. The advertised start is spring 2026 or as soon as possible; evaluation began in January 2026.

…eigenvalues, eigenvectors, expansion, transport and clustering, illustrating how a local invariant can yield global information about a graph.

…connects steel’s widespread use in transport, infrastructure and buildings with its industrial climate footprint, and examines scientific and engineering approaches intended to reduce emissions from making the metal.

A key challenge in modern soft matter is to identify the principles that govern the organisation and functionality in non-equilibrium systems. Current research efforts largely focus on non-equilibrium processes that occur either at the single-molecule scale (e.g. protein and DNA conformations under driving forces), or at the scale of whole tissues, organisms, and active colloidal and microscopic objects. However, the range of the scales in-between — from molecules to large-scaled molecular assemblies that consume energy and perform work — remains under-explored. This is, nevertheless, the scal

Understanding individual and macroscopic transport properties of motile micro-organisms in complex environments is a timely question, relevant to many ecological, medical and technological situations. At the fundamental level, this question is also receiving a lot of attention as fluids loaded with swimming micro-organisms has become a rich domain of applications and a conceptual playground for the statistical physics of “active matter”. The existence of microscopic sources of energy borne by the motile character of these micro-swimmers is driving self-organization processes at the origin of o
