Condensed Matter Seminar: Optics at the Extreme
Professor Nader Enghetta, University of Pennsylvania
Recent development in condensed matter physics and nanoscience has made it possible to tailor materials with unusual parameters and characteristics. In my group, we have been exploring light-matter interaction in…
Astronomy Seminar: " Cosmic Rays, Solar Forcing and 20th Century Climate Change"
Nir J. Shaviv (Hebrew University of Jerusalem and IAS Princeton)
Physics Club Seminar
Phil Nelson, Biophysics
Dissertation Defense: "The Optical Properties of Spiky Gold Nanoshells"
Simon Hastings, UPenn
Condensed Matter Seminar: "Shaping Colloidal Assembly"
Professor Greg van Anders, University of Michigan
Advances in synthesis techniques have produced colloids and nanoparticles in a diverse array of shapes that can be assembled into bulk structures. That bulk structure is strongly affected by particle shape in idealized…
Department Colloquium: Exploring the Dawn of the First Galaxies with PAPER and HERA
James Aguirre, UPenn
Between the surface of last scattering of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and and the first detected galaxies at around 500 million years later lies a vast swath of unexplored history. We know that the…
