Special Energy Cluster Seminar: "Single-Molecule Sensors using Carbon Nanotube Electronics"
Delphine Bouilly, Columbia
In many biological and optically-active materials, fundamental energy and charge transfer mechanisms occur at the molecular level. Individual molecules, however, are challenging to observe directly due to their…
Department Colloquium: "The Event Horizon Telescope: Imaging and Time-Resolving a Black Hole"
Shep Doeleman (MIT) Hosted by James Aguirre
A convergence of high bandwidth radio instrumentation and Global mm and submm wavelength facilities are enabling assembly of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT): a short-wavelength Very Long Baseline Interferometry
*Special Seminar*:"Control of Nanoparticle Self-assemblies using Distorted Liquid Crystals”
Emmanuelle Lacaze (Institut de Nano-Sciences de Paris, Université Pierre et Marie Curie)
Directed assembly of nanoparticles is a promising alternative for original nanoparticle organizations. New kinds of optical properties are expected when semi-conductive or metallic nanoparticles are concerned. Using…
ABO Seminars: "Label-Free Intraoperative Optical Imaging of Breast Tumor Margins and the Microenvironment"
Stephen Boppart (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign)
Condensed Matter seminar: "Managing Energy Far From Equilibrium"
Carlos Ortiz, University of Pennsylvania
Meaningful advances in energy generation, utilization, or storage require exquisite control and optimization of the transport properties of materials far-from-thermal-equilibrium. Whether concerned with ion-…
Department Colloquium: "Spotting the Elusive Majorana Under the Microscope"
Ali Yazdani (Princeton University) Hosted by Eleni Katifori
Topological superconductors are a distinct form of matter that is predicted to host boundary Majorana fermions. The search for Majorana quasi-particles in condensed matter systems is motivated in part by their…
Dissertation Defense: "Theoretical Studies of Cosmic Acceleration"
James Stokes (UPenn)
High Energy Theory: New Frontiers in Particle Cosmology Pt.2
The purpose of this meeting is to bring together experts working at the interface of cosmology, string theory and particle physics for a few days of informal talks and exchanges of ideas. The schedule will allow…
