Advances in Biomedical Optics seminar: “Traumatic microvascular injury: A potentially treatable endophenotype of TBI"
Ramon Diaz-Arrastia, University of Pennsylvania
Pizza will be served at 11:45 am.
Primakoff Lecture: "Dark Matter, Neutron Stars, and Gravitational Waves"
Ann Nelson, University of Washington
The recent observation of gravitational waves from merging neutron stars opens a new era for neutron star physics and astrophysics. I discuss the dark matter mystery and some of my work on
possible ways neutron…
Special Condensed Matter seminar: "Anomalous charge and thermal transport in antiferromagnetic Weyl semimetals"
Binghai Yan, Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel
Topological Weyl semimetals provide a new stage to examine exotic transport phenomena such as the chiral anomaly and the anomalous Hall effect. In the ordinary longitudinal transport, the Wiedemann-Franz law links…
Joint High Energy Experiment/Theory seminar
Zack Lasner, Yale University
Condensed Matter seminar: "Delving Into the Nanoscale World With Thin-Film Nanofluidic Devices"
Jason R. Dwyer, University of Rhode Island
Thin film nanofluidic devices offer a diverse range of platform architectures and capabilities for nanoscale sample characterization and single-molecule sensing.
Astronomy seminar: "The Hercules Stream: stars on Trojan orbits visiting the solar vicinity"
Elena D’Onghia (University of Wisconsin-Madison)
The origin of the stars with coherent velocities discovered in the solar neighborhood remains uncertain, but their dynamics and evolution are key to understanding the dynamics of the Galactic stellar disk and…
Special Seminar: "This Is Not A Diversity Talk"
John Asher Johnson, Harvard University
The American discourse on the various disparities present in society generally, and academia specifically, focuses primarily on observations of the state of a given situation---e.g. a lack of diversity---…
High Energy Theory seminar: "Direct Detection of sub-GeV Dark Matter: A New Frontier"
Rouven Essig, Stony Brook University
Dark matter makes up 85% of the matter in our Universe, but we have yet to learn its identity. While most experimental searches focus on Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) with masses above the proton (…
Condensed Matter seminar: "Fracton phase of matter: Lattice models, gauge theories and realizations"
Yizhi You, Princeton University
Fracton phase of matter shares many features of topological order, including long-range entangled ground states and non-trivial braiding statistics. At the same time, fracton phase contains subextensive ground-state…
Eli Burstein Lecture in Materials Science: "Designing Superconductivity: Using nanostructures to manipulate interactions in a complex system"
Nadya Mason, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
One of the most fundamental scientific questions is how the macroscopic properties of matter emerge from complex interactions of microscopic constituents. In this talk, I will discuss a “bottom-up” approach to…
