The Science of Creamy Cacio e Pepe - クリーミーなカチョ・エ・ペペの科学

Cacio e pepe is one of Italy's most popular pasta dishes, but even (Italian) scientists often fail to prepare the perfect creamy sauce. Daniel Maria Busiello, a physicist at the University of Padua, also struggled with this—until he had had enough of random trial and error, and approached the problem scientifically. Together with colleagues (all Italian) from the Max Planck Institute in Dresden, the Institute of Science and Technology Austria, and the University of Barcelona, he set out to uncover the secret of the perfect sauce so that it would turn out right every time.

Resonance Matters - Micro-Optical Resonators for Quantum, Bio, and Energy Applications

This focused scientific meeting (Partnership Event) will bring together researchers from OIST and Keio University to explore recent advances in micro-optics resonators, with an emphasis on applications in quantum technologies and energy-related photonics. Whispering-gallery resonators offer exceptional optical confinement and high quality factors, enabling strong light–matter interactions, nonlinear optical processes, and sensitive transduction mechanisms. These properties make WGMs a powerful platform for emerging quantum systems as well as for energy-relevant applications such as sensing, frequency conversion, and photonic energy management.

Speaker: Professor Chun-Chi Lin, National Taiwan Normal University Title: The p-elastic flows of inextensible planar closed curves for p ∈ (1, ∞) Abstract:

Building on the work of Blatt, Hopper, and Vorderobermeier (2022) on the existence of geometric flows for the p-elastic energy with p[2,), we investigate how to extend their results to the case p(1,2). In this talk, we focus on the class of inextensible planar closed curves. We establish the existence of global weak solutions to the L 2 -gradient flow of the p-elastic energy for all p ∈ (1, ∞). Further directions, including extensions to open curves and applications to variational problems of curves in sub-Riemannian geometry, will also be discussed. The results presented are based on joint work with Ying-Hsian Tsai.
