Venice meeting on
Fluctuations in small complex
systems IV
Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti
Palazzo Franchetti, Venezia, 14th to 18th October 2018
SCOPE.
At this meeting, we want to bring together scientists from the fields of
statistical, biological and soft matter physics, to address and discuss
novel aspects of the role of fluctuations in small systems ranging from
individual protein molecules over living biological cells to the transport
of tracers in porous media. In particular on small scales new techniques
in microscopy allow experimentalists to track the motion of particles as
small as single proteins in living cells or to manipulate single DNA
molecules. Concurrently computers have become ever more powerful, permitting
simulations over previously unreached time and length scales. The wealth of
new experimental and simulations data emerging from these methods also pose
the need for novel theoretical approaches to understand the dynamics of
systems on such scales. From a physics point of view this development is
very exciting as it opens up new vistas in statistical physics, and to
explore systems in which fluctuations and disorder become controlling
elements.
This meeting brings together participants from leading international
laboratories to discuss non-equilibrium and stochastic effects in small systems.
Combining experts on experiments, simulations, and theory we are looking
forward to another stimulating meeting in the very heart of the Serenissima,
Venice.
