We meet every Tuesday at 1pm, Eastern time, in the CafeCon (the conference room next to the STScI cafeteria), and also remotely using BlueJeans. We start with a talk by guest speaker for ~30 minutes, followed by paper discussion. Vote for what papers you want discussed on Benty-Fields. Sign up for e-mails by sending a […]
Speaker: Tomoya Higo of U. Tokyo Title: Electrical manipulation and detection of topological states in heterostructures based on the Weyl antiferromagnet Mn3Sn Abstract: Various elementary particles previously proposed in high-energy physics are now being observed as quasiparticles in solids, garnering significant attention. Recently, the existence of Weyl fermions/Weyl semimetal states, stemming from the macroscopic time-reversal […]
Title: Latest Results of the CUORE Experiment + Low Energy StudiesAbstract - The results for the neutrinoless double beta decay search of 130Te using CUORE's total exposure of 2023 kg*yrs are presented. In addition to these results, a summary of ongoing work towards optimizing the low energy spectrum of CUORE is described to motivate other […]
Janice Lee (STScI) New Views of Star Formation in Nearby Galaxies with 100,000 Star Clusters and Associations from PHANGS HST & JWST
Video of the Talk Title: Cavity-enabled measurements and interactions in atomic tweezer arrays Abstract: The atomic tweezer array has emerged as a promising new platform for quantum simulation and computation. In this talk, I will highlight our results on integrating an optical cavity with atomic tweezer arrays to control the atom-environment and atom-atom interactions. Through selectively […]
15-20 min long talks on astronomy-related papers, projects, ideas. Enjoy both Astronomy and Coffee (please bring your own mugs). If you have new results, ideas or want to discuss an interesting paper from arXiv, we encourage you to present. Spring 2024 schedule
Department-wide colloquium Speaker: Jami Valentine, Founder of African American Women in Physics Title: Diversity in Physics Abstract: Dr. Jami Valentine Miller was the first African American woman to earn a PhD in Physics & Astronomy at Johns Hopkins University and is the founder of African American Women in Physics Inc. In this talk, she will share […]

Video of the talk Title: Illuminating exotic chemistry and physics with single-quantum-state spectroscopy Abstract: Molecules are amongst the most complex objects that can be controlled and studied at the individual quantum state level. In this talk, I will introduce some of the extraordinary advances made in the last decade by the application of AMO physics […]
JHU/STScI CAS Wine and Cheese Seminars take place in Bloomberg 462 every Monday at 3:30 pm Eastern. Each week, there will be either one speaker, giving an hour-long presentation (50+10), or two speakers, each giving a half hour (25+5) presentation. Hour-long speakers will be invited by the committee, and the half-hour speakers will comprise both […]
