16 May 2024. A workshop for the Day of the Light

On May 16th, the Enrico Fermi Research Center will host a workshop for the International Day of Light, organized by the Young Minds group of Via Panisperna and aimed at PhD students and post-docs in Physics who are interested in Optics and Photonics courses. The International Day of Light, proclaimed in 2015 by UNESCO in […]

Evidence of scale-free clusters of vegetation in tropical rainforests

Tropical rainforests exhibit a rich repertoire of spatial patterns emerging from the intricate relationship between the microscopic interaction between species. In particular, the distribution of vegetation clusters can shed much light on the underlying process that regulates the ecosystem. Analyzing the distribution of vegetation clusters at different resolution scales, we show the first robust evidence […]

Uncovering Networks in Rainforest Plants

The resilience of an ecosystem to environmental and human-induced change may depend on how the system’s plants are arranged. Do they form patchy clumps or networks extending over the whole terrain? A team of researchers in Italy, led by Pablo Villegas, has now shown that, in a tropical rainforest in Panama, the dominant plant species […]

Workshop: Capabilities, GVCs and productive complexity

April 23, 10 pm -18 pm Workshop, Aula Fermi, Centro Ricerche Enrico Fermi Capabilities, GVCs and productive complexity: Comparing frameworks to explore the green transition and supply chain vulnerability The workshop aims to explore the structural transformations and the accumulation/dispersion of capabilities within productive systems in this era of green transition and heightened supply chain vulnerability.

Orso Mario Corbino. Via Panisperna Research Manager

Scientist, politician and entrepreneur Orso Mario Corbino could intuit the potential of the new ideas appearing in the physics of the early twentieth century and give institutional and financial support to their realization. To pay homage to Corbino, SIF is publishing this year, on the occasion of the 125th anniversary of the Society, an anthology […]

The Stable Marriage Problem: properties and models

CREF Talk February 7, 2024 – 3 PM Speaker Enrico Fenoaltea The Stable Marriage Problem: properties and models In this talk, I will begin by providing an overview of the Stable Marriage Problem (SMP): a game-theoretical model that addresses the stable matching of individuals based on their preference lists. Initially introduced by mathematicians Gale and […]

CREF Talk at Sapienza University

Laplacian Renormalization Group for heterogeneous networks: information core, entropic transitions and scale transformations Andrea Gabrielli (University of Roma 3) Tuesday, March 26  2024, 16:00 → 17:30 Europe/Rome Aula Conversi (Dip. of Physics – Building G. Marconi) Complex networks often exhibit a rich architecture organized over multiple intertwined scales. Information pathways are expected to pervade these scales, reflecting structural […]

Radio Popolare – itv ad Angelica Sbardella e Marica Virgillito

E’ possibile combattere il surriscaldamento del clima e allo stesso tempo fare bene all’economia? Perché laddove ci sono disuguaglianze di reddito, l’investimento in tecnologie verdi è più costoso? Di queste e altre domande si è discusso ieri a Roma al Cnel in un incontro organizzato dal Centro Ricerche “Enrico Fermi”, dall’istituto di economia della Scuola […]

Il Memory delle particelle al Festival della Scienza di Genova

Come si fa a vedere qualcosa di così piccolo che neanche un potente microscopio riesce a ingrandire abbastanza? Le particelle che si studiano in fisica sono invisibili ai nostri occhi, ma le possiamo “vedere” grazie alle tracce che lasciano al loro passaggio, per esempio in un gas. Ognuna ha un movimento tutto suo, una specie […]

Misure di Raggi Cosmici ai Laboratori di Legnaro con il Progetto EEE

Si è appena concluso ai Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro dell’INFN, il meeting generale del progetto EEE Extreme Energy Events – La Scienza nelle Scuole: un progetto di citizen science sull’origine dei raggi cosmici realizzato in collaborazione tra il Centro Ricerche Enrico Fermi (CREF) e l’INFN. All’evento hanno partecipato in presenza, oltre a ricercatori e ricercatrici, un centinaio […]
