Since 2006 a small group of researchers from the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics started to realized one of the first European Researchers' Night in Europe: a one night-event, supported by the European Commission, that falls…
The name "Arduino" made its international debut in 2005, marking the age of Arduino as one of the most user-friendly and cost-effective microcontroller boards (MCBs) for novices. The science implementation of Arduino boards in automation,…
This contribution covers the topics presented by the authors at the {\it ``Fundamental Problems of Turbulence, 50 Years after the Marseille Conference 1961"} meeting that took place in Marseille in 2011. It focuses on some of the…
Research on the development of science has focused on the creation of multidisciplinary teams. However, while this coming together of people is symmetrical, the ideas, methods, and vocabulary of science have a directional flow. We present a…
In response to increasing calls for the reform of the undergraduate science curriculum for life science majors and pre-medical students (Bio2010, Scientific Foundations for Future Physicians, Vision & Change), an interdisciplinary team has…
Ten years ago, relativistic viscous fluid dynamics was formulated from first principles in an effective field theory framework, based entirely on the knowledge of symmetries and long-lived degrees of freedom. In the same year, numerical…
Microfluidic channels have emerged as useful tools to control dynamic forcing on transported microscale objects, as encountered in emulsions, biological flows, and other soft matter systems. Tailored channel designs enable precise…
Workflows in biomolecular science are very important as they are intricately intertwined with the scientific outcomes, as well as algorithmic and methodological innovations. The use and effectiveness of workflow tools to meet the needs of…
This manuscript summarizes a series of three lectures on interactions of neutrinos . The lectures begin with a pedagogical foundation and then explore topics of interest to current and future neutrino oscillation and cross-section…
The complexity of droplet microfluidics grows by implementing parallel processes and multiple functionalities on a single device. This poses a challenge to the engineer designing the microfluidic networks. In today's design processes, the…

These are (not updated) notes from the lectures I gave at the NATO ASI ``Symmetric Functions 2001'' at the Isaac Newton Institute in Cambridge (June 25 -- July 6, 2001). Their goal is an informal introduction to asymptotic combinatorics…
The Nobel Prize is awarded annually for outstanding scientific discoveries and inventions. Most scientific papers today are co-authored by a large number of researchers. However, very few scientists can receive the Nobel Prize according to…
This paper records my opening remarks at Nobel Symposium 148, on Graphene and Quantum Matter, at Saltsj\"obaden, Sweden, in June 2010. After some broad comments on the quantum theory of matter as a frontier of physics, and some slightly…
This study attempts to establish a basis for understanding how methods used in research in solar physics have evolved since World War II (WWII). The goal is to begin to explore if and how the changing research environment affects the…
Imaging methods used in modern neuroscience experiments are quickly producing large amounts of data capable of providing increasing amounts of knowledge about neuroanatomy and function. A great deal of information in these datasets is…
Biomimetic nanotechnology is a prominent research area at the meeting place of life sciences with engineering and physics: it is a continuously growing field that deals with knowledge transfer from biology to nanotechnology. Biomimetic…
The 2018 update of the discovery of nuclide project is presented. 50 new nuclides were observed for the first time in 2018. A large number of isotopes is still only published in conference proceedings or internal reports.
We introduce here very briefly, through some selective choices of problems and through the sample computer simulation programs (following the request of the editor for this invited review in the Journal of Physics Through Computation), the…
Bacterial biofilms are among the oldest and most prevalent multicellular life forms on Earth and are increasingly relevant in research areas related to industrial fouling, medicine and biotechnology. The main hurdles to obtaining definitive…
