Mechanically controlled pattern formation

2020. January 06.

Our colleagues in a collaboration with researchers from Bilkent University showed the formation of periodic patterns by a diffusion–precipitation reaction in a stretchable hydrogel and the control of the obtained patterns by the unprecedented and uncommon method of mechanical input. The study has been published in Advanced Materials.

Novobátzky Prize for Balázs Pozsgai

2019. October 29.

Our colleague was awarded the Novobátzky Prize of the Eötvös Loránd Physical Society for his pioneering contributions in the theoretical description of the non-equilibrium dynamics of integrable quantum spin chains.

 

Currently, Balázs is a member of the MTA-BME Quantum Dynamics and Correlations Research Group, based at BME Department of Theoretical Physics. Previously, he was a member of the "Lendület Statistical Field Theory Research Group" at the same department, where he has been the recipient of the MTA Premium Postdoctoral Grant as well as the MTA Bolyai and Bolyai+ Grants.
