Lensing of Gravitational Waves: New Opportunities for Fundamental Physics Just like light, gravitational waves (GWs) are deflected and magnified by massive objects in the Universe, a phenomenon known as gravitational […]
Informal science discussions and coffee, open to the entire department.
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 […]
Title: Effective Field Theory Breakdown Near Cool Black Holes Abstract: In this talk, I will demonstrate a surprising way in which near-extremal black holes are sensitive probes of new physics. […]
Title: New Structures in the J/psi J/psi Mass Spectrum at CMS Abstract: The speaker will discuss the new structures reported by the CMS collaboration recently. Three structures are found in […]
Erik Tollerud (STScI) "Dwarf Galaxies, Near-Field Cosmology, and Software: It's All Connected"
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, […]
Speaker 1: Kurmanbek Kaiyrbekov (from Brian Camley’s group) - Does nematic order allow groups of elongated cells to sense electric fields better? Speaker 2: Aniruddh Murali (from Francesca Serra’s group […]
Interphase Chromatin Undergoes a Local Sol-Gel Transition Upon Cell Differentiation Cell differentiation, the process by which stem cells become specialized cells, is associated with chromatin reorganization inside the cell nucleus. […]
Special Condensed Matter Seminar Speaker: Allen Scheie Title: "The old and the new: Probing elemental gadolinium and quantum entanglement with neutron scattering" Abstract: Doing experiments on quantum materials often not […]
