Excited to be in Trieste again for a week (visiting @ictp.bsky.social). Knew well the city's literary connections to Joyce and Svevo, but discovering Umberto Saba now. Here's his ambivalent poem about his hometown, translated by Geoffrey Brock. "Trieste has a sullen grace"

How is being a scientist in Iran? What is active matter? Find the answers to these questions at the ICTP Associates Seminar on 25th June, at 11am CEST, online or at ICTP. Prof. Reza Ejtehadi will discuss his career in science and his group's work at the cutting edge of active matter research.

Looking forward to returning to the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste, Italy @ictp.bsky.social where I started out as a postdoctoral fellow in 1997, applying complex systems theory to study ecosystem structure and dynamics with a fellowship from NSERC.

Timekeeping just got seriously futuristic. Quantum clocks are reaching levels of precision that could reshape physics and tech as we know it. Worth a read 👇 www.ictp.it/news/2026/5/...

Hair cell bundles are tiny structures in our ears that help us sense and amplify both faint and loud sounds. A new study by an international group of researchers sheds light on the thermodynamics that underlie the functioning of these bundles. Learn more: journals.aps.org/prxlife/abst...

Di solito è la luce a far vedere i difetti. Ora uno studio pubblicato su @pnas.org – condotto dall’International Centre for Theoretical Physics (@ictp.bsky.social) di Trieste e dalla University of Chicago – mostra come invece, nel ghiaccio, siano i difetti a far vedere la luce.

Quando il ghiaccio s’illumina

Sono i difetti microscopici nella struttura cristallina a trasformare il ghiaccio esposto a raggi Uv in una sorgente luminosa. La scoperta, illustrata da una collaborazione tra il Centro internazional...
