Today, June 14, is the deadline for submitting an abstract at the JMC for the mini-colloquium "Fracture and Friction across Materials and Scales" (SMPP1) at the Journées de la Matière Condensée to be held in Marseille on October 28-31, 2024. Don't hesitate to submit an abstract!

You can find more information about the JMC here (jmc2024.sciencesconf.org/?lang=en)  and the call for abstracts for our session (jmc2024.sciencesconf.org/data/pages/SMM…).

Call for abstracts on Fracture and Friction across materials and Scales! A colloquium series organised by Elsa Bayart, Mathias Lebihain, and myself at the "Journées de la Matière Condensée".

It has been one year since the Kahraman Maraş earthquake sequence in Türkiye / Syria. BGS scientists have been working to improve our understanding of this event, which caused widespread destruction and loss of life across a large part of southern Turkey and northern Syria.

If your council tax is more than £1,828 a year, you're paying more than Buckingham Palace. Excellent piece by @JamesFransham economist.com/britain/2024/0…

Thank you so much to all of the co-authors for their amazing work! @ViescaRobert @MarineDenolle

Our recent paper “cracks” the reason why fractures form in certain ways. Read more about the research from Harvard scientists in collaboration with Engineering researchers at @UniofNottingham in @physorg_com: phys.org/news/2024-01-e…

The authors “advocate for the value of learning and surprise, and for an irreverence for boundaries of all kind — between disciplines, science and technology” This was the Bell Labs culture and became the guiding light for my own research! nature.com/articles/s4225…

While sorting out data, I just came across some cool movies from student projects done during a multiphase flow class. The impact of an object in a small layer of cornstarch can create fractures like a solid, which then resorb! (inspired by doi.org/10.1103/PhysRe…) @SoRheology

How to solve a maze without AI? 🤔 Use Laplace's equation: 1. Mesh the maze 2. Set Dirichlet BCs ϕ = 0 at start and ϕ = 1 at end 3. Set homogeneous Neumann BCs everywhere else 4. Solve ∇²ϕ = 0 5. Go to the start and follow the gradient

Great opportunity for postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Nottingham

This year the University of Nottingham welcomes 16 new Fellows to the Nottingham Research and Anne McLaren Fellowship cohorts Application deadline October 6. Reach out if interested nottingham.ac.uk/research/resea… #postdoc #Notts

This is how you learn real applied math & probability.

Run in opposite directions to see who your dog loves more.. 😅
