Phase transitions are essential in physics. They play key roles in biological physics, since many phenomena in living systems exhibit collective effects with critical behavior. However, the underlying physics is still poorly understood and only few models provide analytical solutions. Here, Jose Armangol presents the Ising model, the best paradigm for phase transitions which was originally conceived to explain transition between ferro- and para- magnetism and this model has been later used to model successfully a variety of other phenomena. Watch Jose's video to learn more.

![Fluorescence: a tool to study molecular dynamics in biology
Fluorescence is used in Biology as a tool to study the internal of cells. In this video, Rémi Berthoz explains the basics of interactions between light and matter to schematically describe how fluorescent molecules can be used to monitor the flow of calcium ions in living cells.
