Condensed Matter Seminar: Design of Biotic-Abiotic Interfaces using Liquid Crystals
Professor Nicholas Abbott, University of Wisconsin
Many biological molecules form liquid crystalline phases. The unique combination of long-range molecular ordering and mobility found in liquid crystals has been exploited by nature to create a range of functional…

Condensed Matter Seminar: Microfluidic Pathways towards Topological Defect Templates
Professor Anupam Sengupta, MIT
Liquid crystals (LCs) are mesogenic phases of matter which combine liquid fluidity with crystalline solid properties.The material anisotropy allows us to explore LCs as complex functional materials for microfluidics…

Department Colloquium:"Control Without Measurement: The Profound Challenge of Quantum Information"
Charles Marcus, Neils Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen
Condensed Matter Seminar: “Making Cells with Active Micro-tubule Mixtures”
Professor Jennifer Ross, UMass Amherst
Biology utilizes energy to organize itself from the nanoscale to the macroscopic scale. We seek to determine the universal principles of organization from the molecular scale that gives rise to architecture on the…
Astronomy Seminar: Massive Galaxy Growth since Cosmic Noon
Stijn Wuyts (MPE Garching)
The Hubble Space Telescope and integral-field spectrographs on the
ground offer us an unprecedented view of the internal physics within
high-redshift galaxies. Exploiting the powerful synergy between…
