Wednesday 18th April 2018 – DIAS scientists launch major Atlantic Ocean research project

Led by scientists from Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS), the iMarl project is centred around state-of-the-art ocean bottom seismometers, which will be located deep in the Atlantic Ocean  off the coast of Ireland. The seismometers will have… Read More

Thursday 19th April: STP Seminar – “Non-equilibrium Dynamics in Isolated Quantum Systems”

Title: Non-equilibrium Dynamics in Isolated Quantum Systems Speaker: Masud Haque (NUI Maynooth) Abstract: Quantum many-body physics has traditionally focused on equilibrium properties and low-energy excitations. However, in recent years, motivated by novel experimental possibilities, the study of quantum matter far from… Read More
