Having a broad view of the main current research topics is difficult but crucial to choose
the internship and PhD subjects, and more generally the research directions in physics.
During the first semester, a series of seminars “Physics Now” will allow the M2 ICFP students
to broad their knowledge on the current hot topics in physics and get information on
research groups and themes in France and abroad.

Seminars are organised for each program ; students of one program are welcome to attend
the seminars of another if the schedule permits.

The challenge of quantum gravity and some ideas currently pursued to overcome it

Abstract : The talk will review some major difficulties forbidding a quantization of the gravitational field along conventional lines. The ideas underlying string theory, which is the major candidate for a consistent solution of the frustrating challenge of reconciling quantum mechanics and gravity, will then be briefly surveyed. The potential role of infinite-dimensional groups will finally be discussed.

Physics behind and beyond the Standard Model

Abstract : All known elementary particles and their non-gravitational interactions are described by the Standard Model of particle physics. Yet, the Standard Model, in many ways, is incomplete. First, I will review the main features of the Standard Model, its limitations and problems. Then, I will take you on a guided tour of some possible theories describing physics beyond the Standard Model.

“Soft matter Now”}

November 12th at 12:30pm
Bruno Andreotti - LPENS - Université de Paris
"Statics & Dynamics of Soft Wetting"

Abstract : The laws of wetting are well-known for drops on rigid surfaces, but these change dramatically when the substrate is soft and deformable. The combination of wetting and the intricacies of soft polymeric interfaces has provided many rich examples of fluid-structure interaction, both in terms of phenomenology as well as from the fundamental perspective. In this seminar, I will discuss experimental and theoretical progress on the statics and dynamics of soft wetting. In this context, I will critically revisit the foundations of capillarity, such as the nature of solid surface tension, the microscopic mechanics near the contact line, and the dissipative mechanisms that lead to unexpected spreading dynamics.

Life and death of a liquid foam

Abstract : Liquid foams are used in many situations and as varied as medical engineering, food and cosmetic industries, in building materials and energy harvesting processes (extraction), as well as for decontamination and recycling ... Despite this technical know-how, a foam remains a complex material to deal with.
A foam is a compact assembly of gas bubbles in a liquid matrix, and because of its very large liquid / gas interface, it is an ephemeral, intrinsically out of equilibrium material that will always collapse. In this talk we will try to answer the following questions : what is a liquid foam ? Why do we need soap molecules to form it ? How does it evolve over time ? How does it collapse ? Are there any methods to stabilize it ?
