Is diamagnetism really acausal?

Stephen M. Barnett and Niclas Westerberg
Friday, 16 May, 2025 - 11:00 to 12:00

Location:

Diamagnetism, in which the magnetisation in a medium opposes the direction of an applied magnetic field, is a weak but familiar effect in a wide class of materials. Being weak it is also a linear response to any applied field. The problem is that the existence of diamagnetism is in direct conflict with the requirements of causality as embodied in the familiar Kramers-Kronig relations. Nature doesn’t care about our confusion and diamagnetism exists and (as far as we are aware) physics is constrained by the requirements of causality (effect cannot precede cause).

Semantic Communications for 6G Connectivity

Dr Ali Taimori
Friday, 16 May, 2025 - 14:00 to 14:30

Location:

AI-powered semantic communications is one of the enablers for the next 6G of telecommunications. Contrary to Shannon’s communication model that transmit bits of data, in semantic communications, meanings or semantics are transmitted. This emerging paradigm enhances transmission efficiency in terms of factors such as bandwidth, power consumption, and telecommunications infrastructure. In this talk, we present our recent research at Heriot-Watt University (HWU) on a new model, termed Differential Semantic Communications (DSC), mimicking the intelligence behind human-to-human interactions.

MDMC: Accelerating Medical Device Innovation with COMSOL Multiphysics

Various Speakers
Thursday, 22 May, 2025 - 11:00 to 12:00

Location:

Simulations are a vital part of medical device development, providing greater insight into device performance. Various physical phenomena can be modelled (using Finite element modelling) including structural mechanics, heat transfer and fluid mechanics. Through utilising simulations, design changes and optimisation can be achieved more economically than solely via manufacture.

Dr. Julia Cramer

Leiden University
Monday, 26 May, 2025 - 13:30 to 14:30

Location:

The current ‘second quantum revolution’ promises dramatic technological changes for society. While there is clearly an international push to quantum research and development, it also comes with societal responsibility. Now is the time to involve society. We live in a time of science skepticism. We know from climate debates and vaccine discussions that our current society does not just ‘believe’ in science. This is a very different cultural atmosphere than the times in which the classical computer entered society and people set foot on the moon.

Amorphous Carbon Coatings for Healthcare and NetZero Applications

Dr Abdul Wasy Zia
Wednesday, 18 June, 2025 - 13:00 to 13:30

Location:

The amorphous carbon coatings are made with a range of physical and chemical vapor deposition methods. The manufacturing process defines their diamond-like or graphite-like characteristics and therefore regulates their physical, mechanical, electrical, tribological, and biological properties.
