28 September 2022 13:00 - 14:00
Eastern Time (US & Canada) (UTC -05:00)The study of hyperuniform states of matter is an emerging multidisciplinary field, influencing and linking developments across the physical sciences, mathematics and biology. A hyperuniform many-particle system in d-dimensional Euclidean space is characterized by an anomalous suppression of large-scale density fluctuations relative to those in "garden-variety" disordered systems, such as liquids and amorphous solids. The hyperuniformity concept generalizes the traditional notion of long
