Fermi 125: Enrico Fermi’s Legacy 125 Years After His Birth. 

Resolving a 30-Year Light Diffusion Controversy. The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Florence coordinated the activities of a collaboration with the Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica (INRiM) and the Institute for Laser Technology in Medicine and Medicine at the University of Ulm (ILM).

Subtracting to Add: How Quasiperiodicity Shapes the Quantum Phases of Matter. Vinicius Zampronio and  Fabio Cinti investigate the behavior of dipolar bosons in a quasiperiodic optical lattice.

Propagation of light through anomalous media. A researchers group from our Department in collaboration with INRIM (Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica), LENS and Tufts University have identified and verified a set of simple rules to describe the propagation of light through anomalous media such as clouds and some biological media.

Davide Bacco, Associate Professor at our Deaprtment, has been recognised the Canada-Italy Innovation Award 2023. 

Ása Skúladóttir, researcher at theDepartment, was awarded a 1.5 million euro StartingGrant by the European Research Council. Her research project, focused on dwarf galaxies, studies the origin of the Milky Way and its chemical elements. 

Topology and synchronization together? A paper published in Physical Review Letters with contributions from our Phd student Lorenzo Giambagli explains.
