| Monitoring and manipulating fast dynamics of biomolecules in situ |
| Speaker: | Berufungsvortrag Biophysik: Dr. Katrin Heinze (Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP), Wien) |
| Abstract: | We are currently developing a surface imaging technique that has the potential for being both extremely fast whilst providing a spatial resolution far better than that achievable by conventional microscopy. Our approach is based on the idea of a near-field planar lens – a so-called superlens − that is brought in contact with the sample and capable of resolving features much smaller than the diffraction limit at optical frequencies. One superlens design which we are currently developing consists of stacked metallic and dielectric films, which we are able to fabricate with sufficient quality and biocompatibility.
In addition to pushing optical imaging techniques beyond the classic spatial and temporal resolution limits, we are also working on understanding the inevitable interaction of light with (labeled) biomolecules and its impact on imaging data interpretation. In particular, over the last few years we have studied a phenomenon called photounbinding where moderate light intensities can reversibly dissociate biomolecular binding partners. We have obtained insight into the photophysical pathways involved, and are now seeing how they can be harnessed and manipulated for biomedical applications.

| QCD at finite temperature and density from holography |
| Speaker: | Andreas Schmitt (TU Wien) |
| Abstract: | I will give an introduction to the Sakai-Sugimoto model, a holographic model which, in a certain limit, is dual to large-Nc QCD. The model accounts for confinement and chiral symmetry breaking in a geometric way, and it can thus be used for instance to discuss the phase diagram for finite temperature and quark chemical potential. I will discuss the various phases of the model, mostly focussing on applications with finite magnetic fields, such as meson supercurrents and the chiral magnetic effect. |
