SPHEREx, NASA's next MIDEX mission, will launch in February and map the entire sky in 102 near-infrared spectral channels from 0.75-5 microns. This rich dataset will be used for a wide variety of science, including…

Living systems are driven far from thermodynamic equilibrium through the continuous consumption of ambient energy. This energy is invested in the formation of complex, internal macromolecular structures and diverse…

The temperature and polarization anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) have been used to set constraints on decaying dark matter models down to keV masses. In this talk, I will discuss recent work to…

Place a drop of water on an icy surface—it crystallizes at the point of contact, and a slow ice front steadily grows upwards. Place a bubble instead, and a burst of ice crystals erupts across its interface, far from…

Collective behaviors are processes in which large-scale patterns arise from fundamentally local interactions among individuals; in biological systems, these can be organisms, cells, or molecules. A critical open…

Spatial organization in living systems is crucial for their functioning and is typically achieved in complex environments––from molecular processes in the crowded cytoplasm to microbial collectives growing in…
