CSP - International Workshop on Fluctuations in small complex systems III, Venice
Abstract
At this meeting we will bring together scientists from the fields of statistical, biological and soft matter physicsas well as geophysics, in order to address and discuss novel aspects of the role of fluctuations in small systemsranging 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 excitingas it opens up new vistas in statistical physics, and to explore systems in which fluctuations and disorder become controlling elements. The meeting will have a wide participation from all around the world gathering scientists from the leading international laboratories to discuss non-equilibrium and stochastic effects in small systems. Bringing together experts on experiments, simulations and theory, we are looking forward to a very stimulating meeting, continuing a very well received tradition after two prior Venice meetings in a similar setting.
