Il CREF nasce con la duplice anima di Centro di Ricerca e di Museo Storico, con l’intento di conservare e diffondere la memoria di Enrico Fermi, oltre che favorire un’ampia diffusione e comunicazione della cultura scientifica.
Pubblicazioni, novità, rassegna stampa
Il CREF promuove linee di ricerca originali e di grande impatto, improntate ai metodi della fisica, ma con un forte carattere interdisciplinare e in relazione con i principali problemi della moderna società della conoscenza.
the research Ecco una traduzione professionale, fluida e ottimizzata per il web, che mantiene il tono accademico e scientifico del testo originale: The Statistical Physics and Complex Systems in Natural Sciences project is structured into closely interconnected lines of research, focused on the multiscale understanding and modeling of natural complex systems. The main directions include: […]
We live in a world of interconnected systems. From the intricate web of the internet to the complex network of neurons in our brains, understanding how these connections work is crucial. One key concept in understanding these complex systems is “scale invariance.” This means that the system looks similar at different levels of detail. For […]
Phys. Rev. Research 7, 013065 – Published 17 January, 2025 DOI: https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevResearch.7.013065 Authors: Pablo Villegas (CREF), Andrea Gabrielli (CREF, Roma 3), Anna Poggialini (CREF, Sapienza), Tommaso Gili (IMT Scuola Alti Studi Lucca , ISC) Abstract: Heterogeneous and complex networks represent intertwined interactions between real-world elements or agents. Determining the multiscale mesoscopic organization of clusters and intertwined structures is […]
The 2024 edition of the Lipari Summer School on Complex Systems will take place from July 1st to July 7th. Organised by, among others, our Scientific Director Andrea Gabrielli and Tiziana di Matteo, a member of the CREF CDA’s board of directors, it will bring together experts in complex systems from all over the world.

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 […]
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 […]

Renormalization is a technique based on a repeated coarse-graining procedure used to study scale invariance and criticality in statistical physics. Now, an expansion of the renormalization toolbox allows to explore scale invariance in real-world networks.

Laplacian renormalization group for heterogeneous networks Authors : Pablo Villegas, Tommaso Gili, Guido Caldarelli & Andrea Gabrielli Published in: Nature Physics 19, pages445–450 (2023) The renormalization group is the cornerstone of the modern theory of universality and phase transitions, and it is a powerful tool to scrutinize symmetries and organizational scales in dynamical systems. However, its application to complex networks […]
