Condensed and Living Matter Seminar: "Electronically integrated cell sized robots"
Itai Cohen (Cornell University)
What would we be able to do if we could build electronically integrated machines the size of a single cell? At a scale of 50 microns, or about half…
High Energy Theory seminar: "Correlators of BPS lines in conformal field theory"
Philip Argyres (Cincinnati University)
We study the properties of correlation functions of conformal line operators in four-dimensional superconformal field theories. These are treated as n-point functions on the configuration…
Physics and Astronomy Colloquium: "Interstellar Objects"
Greg Laughlin (Yale University)
During the past two years, two objects -- 1I 2017 'Oumuamua and C/2019 Borisov -- have been observed to pass through the Solar System after arriving from interstellar space. 'Oumuamua presented a series…
High Energy Theory seminar
James Bonifacio (Case Western University)
High Energy Theory seminar
Prateek Agrawal (Harvard University)
Mathematical Biology seminar: "Many-body problem of classical mechanics in cell biology"
Alexander Mogilner (New York University)
Many-body problem of celestial mechanics revolutionized applied mathematics and continues to provide inspiration. Math/physical communities are much less aware that there are numerous example of…
Condensed and Living Matter Seminar: "Memory Formation in Matter"
Joseph Paulsen (Syracuse University)
We typically think of memories as occurring in magnetic storage devices or neural networks, but memory effects abound in a wide range of materials. Rubbers and rocks can remember the…
Astronomy seminar: "Kinematic distortions within the MaNGA galaxy survey: frequency, impacts, and origins"
David Stark (Haverford College)
The rise of large Integral-Field-Unit (IFU) galaxy surveys has greatly enhanced our ability to conduct statistical analyses on the internal motions of galaxies. I will first illustrate a new…
