Condensed and Living Matter Seminar: "Short stories in fluid dynamics: Thin films, self-similarity, an N-body problem, and particle motions near rough surfaces"

Howard Stone (Princeton University)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, A8

In this talk, I provide a glimpse into fluid mechanics and soft-condensed matter flow problems that we have studied in recent years.  In particular, I will first describe experiments of the drainage of a liquid film…



Astrophysics seminar: "TBA"

High Energy seminar: "Topological Orders and Noninvertible Symmetries"

Matthew Yu (Perimeter Institute)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 3C6

Fusion higher categories have recently been of interest for their ability to describe the topological content of quantum field theories. Among the set of topological operators, are ones that are…



Condensed and Living Matter Seminar: "Probing Biological Dynamics: from long-term electrophysiology to high-resolution imaging"

Tian-Ming Fu (Princeton University)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, A8

The urgency to probe biological dynamics is impeded by a major challenge: the large dynamic range of biological processes—interactions of molecules within milliseconds can lead to…

Physics and Astronomy Colloquium: "Super-resolution imaging of transcription in living cells" - CANCELLED

Ibraham Cissé (Max Planck Institute)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, A8

We will discuss the latest efforts in our laboratory to develop highly sensitive methods of microscopy, to go directly inside living cells and uncover the behavior of single biomolecules as…

Condensed and Living Matter Seminar: "Rough fitness landscapes: from protein evolution to protein design" - POSTPONED TO SPRING 2023

Francesco Zamponi (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, CNRS)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, A8

Rough (energy, or free energy, or fitness) landscapes are ubiquitous in disordered systems, from material science to biology. These landscapes feature a multitude of local energy minima, separated by…
