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 nearly as hard as interpreting those experiments. In this talk I discuss two projects where neutron scattering data was analyzed in a new way to […]
Informal science discussions and coffee, open to the entire department.
Title: Beyond LCDM: New constraints on new components Abstract: Are dark matter and dark energy the only cosmological constituents that lie beyond the Standard Model? It has been suggested that dark matter and dark energy are parts of a more extensive hidden sector that includes additional particles and fields. Since there are no direct observational […]

Emergence of size in living cells The emergence of macroscopic phenomena from interactions of its microscopic components is a problem permeating much of modern physics. Successes include our understanding of phase transitions, while turbulence still remains mostly mysterious. In cell biology, for more than a hundred years, it has been observed that micron-sized structures within […]
