Centro Ricerche Enrico Fermi (CREF) to Host Brainhack Rome 2025:connecting the dots between structure and function Rome, Italy –January, 15 – The Centro Ricerche Enrico Fermi (CREF) is excited to announce its hosting of Brainhack Rome 2025, a non-competitive hackathon focused on bridging the data science and neuroscience research communities to advance the progress of […]

CREF Talk – Aula Fermi – January 29, 2025 – 3 pm Emergent patterns in ecological dynamics with time dependent interactions Consumer Resources (CRM) or Generalised Lotka Volterra (GLV) models are paradigmatic theoretical framework to describe species abundance dynamics in ecological communities. Most of the previous works considered fixed ecological networks, typically focusing their […]

At a time when the search for clean and sustainable energy sources is more urgent than ever, hybrid fusion-fission systems emerge as a promising scientific and technological frontier. On December 11, 2024, CREF hosted FUNFI-IT, the first Italian workshop dedicated to this innovative technology, bringing together leading experts to take stock of the latest research, […]

A research team comprised of researchers from CREF (Andrea Tacchella, Enrico Fenoaltea, and Filippo Santoro), along with collaborators from the University of Konstanz (Giordano De Marzo and Segun Aroyehu), achieved an impressive second-place finish at CodeFest 2024 in the Generative AI category. The top winners were announced on December 4th at the EPO’s Patent Knowledge […]

CREF Talk Venerdì 13 dicembre ore 11.30 Aula Fermi Speaker Gianni Jacucci Abstract: From bacterial colonies to bird flocks and human crowds, collective behaviours offer advantages for predator evasion, foraging efficiency, and decision-making. Such group behaviours emerge and persist based on how individuals interact with each other and with the environment around them. In my […]

FLASH Radiotherapy, especially with charged particles, has emerged as a promising new approach in radiation therapy, offering the potential to reduce side effects while maintaining tumor control. However, significant research is still needed to translate this concept into clinical practice. The FRIDA Project (Flash Radiotherapy with hIgh Dose-rate particle beAms) is a pioneering initiative aimed […]

CREF Talk December 12, 2024 – 2:30 PM Speaker François Lafond Progress towards reconstructing the global firm-level supply network. We have estimated that there are about 300m firms and 13b supply chain links between them. Some of these are known, some are knowable but unknown, and some are almost unknowable in the sense that no […]

A delegation from the Physics Class of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences recently embarked on a journey through some of Rome’s most significant scientific institutions. On the closing leg of their tour, the delegation visited the Enrico Fermi Research Center (CREF) on November 16th. Founded in 1739, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences is […]

Friday November 15th, 11.30 a.m. Aula Fermi Talk title: Mesoscopic Wave Transport in Disordered Optical Systems Speaker: Prof Sushil Mujumdar Abstract: Light transport in random or disordered media involves multiple scattering of light waves and their self-interference, which realizes some very exotic phenomena in physics. Originally proposed in the domain of electron transport, these phenomena […]
