Topology and “impossible” electronic devices Since the discovery of quantized Hall effects in the 1980s, topology has provided a useful new paradigm for understanding condensed matter systems, expanding our vocabulary […]
Title: Photonic Pseudomagnetism and Landau Levels Abstract: When electrons moving in a two-dimensional plane are subject to a perpendicular magnetic field they move in circles called cyclotron orbits as a result […]
TITLE: Hot, Warm, Cold, and Frigid Exoplanets from the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope
TITLE: Absolutely Mindboggling! ABSTRACT: The fractional quantum Hall states are among the most beautiful, the most consequential, and the best understood strongly correlated states discovered in nature. I will begin […]
TITLE: The Many Frontiers of High Magnetic Field Research, ABSTRACT: The National MagLab in the United States exists to provide magnetic fields that are more than a million times stronger […]
TITLE: Mechanics of Domain Walls ABSTRACT: Domain walls, narrow regions separating domains of uniform magnetization, have a long history in the field of magnetism. As topological solitons, they present interest […]
Thank you to everyone who participated this past spring in the climate survey conducted by the department’s Committee on Diversity and Inclusion (CDI) in conjunction with JHU’s Office of Diversity […]
TITLE: Energetic optimization during cell division ABSTRACT: Living systems are driven far from thermodynamic equilibrium through the continuous consumption of ambient energy. This energy is invested in the formation of […]
TITLE: Exploring Planetary-Mass Brown Dwarfs in Young Star Clusters with JWST ABSTRACT: The discovery and characterization of free-floating planetary-mass objects (FFPMOs) is fundamental to our understanding of star and planet […]
TITLE: Multi-messenger observations of gravitational waves sources: from LIGO to Cosmic Explorer, ABSTRACT: The direct detection of gravitational waves is revolutionizing our view of the universe and has opened a […]
All members of the department are invited and encouraged to attend. The purpose of the meeting will be to make some announcements and to provide information and updates on various […]
Hosted by JHU Gender Minorities & Women in Physics (G-WiP), TITLE: A new vision for the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian ABSTRACT: I will present the latest discoveries and […]
