Department-wide colloquium, special day and time “Long baseline clock atom interferometry for gravitational wave and dark matter detection” Atom interferometry and atomic clocks continue to make impressive gains in sensitivity and time precision. I will discuss the potential for using atomic sensors for gravitational wave detection and searches for dark matter. Interest in this has […]

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. Tentative talk schedule for the fall semester: […]
Speaker: Ariane Dekker Title: Probing dark matter properties with Milky-Way satellite observations

Strong correlation effects are believed to be the driving force behind many novel quantum phases and exotic phenomena, such as strange metallicity. They become pronounced when the electrostatic repulsive interaction is larger than, or at least comparable to the kinetic energy. This regime naturally materializes in f-electron-based heavy fermion metals, as well as in d-electron-based […]
Fall 2023 schedule The JHU/STScI Center for Astrophysical Sciences Wine and Cheese Seminars take place in Bloomberg 462 on Mondays at 3:30. 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 […]

Investigating charge-structure coupling in soft materials for information processing and actuation. We will discuss the thermodynamics of information, compare the efficiency of different information processing architectures (CPU vs. brain), and explore the rich physics when electrostatics, elasticity, and hydrodynamics are coupled on the nanoscale. This will be illustrated by charge-regulation in polymers, DNA packing in […]
