Condensed Matter Seminar: "How challenging is the path from nanoscience to nanotechnology? A computational condensed matter physicist perspective"

Vincent Meunier, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

Efforts to assemble functional materials with atomic precision has energized scientists and engineers to eventually lead to the field of nanoscience. The development of nanoscience is a premise for new technological…

Astro Seminar: "ALMA observations of strongly lensed galaxies: A window into the small-scale structure of dark matter halos"

Yashar Hezaveh (Stanford)

ALMA is starting to open a new window into the dusty structures of
the universe. With its milli-arcsec resolution and spectral
capabilities, among other things, it is promising to teach us
…

Condensed Matter Seminar: "Sloppy Models, Differential Geometry, and How Science Works"

James P. Sethna, Cornell University

Models of systems biology, climate change, ecosystems, and macroeconomics have parameters that are hard or impossible to measure directly. If we fit these unknown parameters, fiddling with them until they agree with…

Astro Seminar: "Halo Bias and its Evolution in the Peak Model"

Tobias Baldauf (IAS)

The clustering statistics of galaxies and their host haloes in current and upcoming Large Scale Structure surveys have the potential to put stringent constraints on cosmology and fundamental physics. The…
