Condensed Matter Seminar: "Long Term 3D Imaging by FIBSEM for Neurons and Cell Biology and Correlation to Cryo Fluorescence Microscopy"

Harald Hess (Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Janelia Research Campus)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, A4

3D Electron microscopy volume data can be acquired by a variety of approaches.  Focused Ion beam – scanning electron microscopy, FIBSEM, offers no limitation on section thickness, so that isotropic voxels with 8 nm…

*Special* HET Seminar: "Bulk Entanglement Gravity"

Sean Carroll (Caltech)
David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 4N12

Nature is quantum, but we human beings tend to think in terms of classical variables. I consider the emergence of spacetime and gravitation from a truly quantum-first perspective, in which our best description of the…

Condensed Matter Seminar: "Wisdom of hives and mounds: collective problem solving by super-organisms"

Lakshminarayanan Mahadevan (Harvard University)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, A4

Social insects are capable of solving complex physiological problems using collective strategies. I will discuss our work on some of these problems  that include the physiology and morphogenesis of termite mounds,…
