Physics and Astronomy Colloquium: "Magic Angle Graphene: the twist and shout of quantum materials"

TALK POSTPONED UNTIL FALL SEMESTER
Pablo Jarillo-Herrero (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, A8

The understanding of strongly-correlated quantum matter has challenged physicists for decades. Such difficulties have stimulated new research paradigms, such as ultra-cold atom lattices for…



Astronomy seminar: "A Modern View of Quasars in the LSST Era"

Gordon Richards (Drexel University)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, A6

A modern view of quasars sees them as diverse *processes* as opposed to the traditional view as more static *things*.  Such a picture is …



High Energy Theory seminar: "An EFT approach to black hole perturbations in scalar tensor theories"

Riccardo Penco (Carnegie Mellon University)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, 2N36

In this talk, I will introduce an effective field theory (EFT) for perturbations around spherically symmetric spacetimes with a non-trivial scalar field profile. I will then apply this framework to study…



Mathematical Biology seminar: "Ultrastructural 3D simulations of electrical and calcium dynamics in neurons and networks"

Gillian Queisser (Temple University)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, A6

Neurons make use of their complex cellular and intracellular architecture to process and guide electrical and biochemical signals. To study this structure-function interplay, computational methods…



Astronomy seminar: "Exploring the Connection between Galaxies and their Supermassive Black Holes"

Vicki Sarajedini (Florida Atlantic University)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, A6

Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) are galaxies currently accreting significant amounts of material onto their central super massive black holes and may mark an important phase of galaxy evolution…



Advances in Biomedical Optics seminar series: "Human Brain Interferometers for Better Blood Flow Monitoring"

Vivek Srinivasan (University of California Davis)

Physics and Astronomy Colloquium: "Quantifying Hidden Order Out of Equilibrium"

Paul Chaikin (New York University)
- David Rittenhouse Laboratory, A8

We introduce a simple idea enabling the quantification of organization in non-equilibrium and equilibrium systems, even when the form of order is unknown: 'It takes less information to describe an ordered…
