Title: Gas Flows in the Milky Way Halo Abstract: Gas flows play crucial roles in galaxy evolution. Inflowing gas provides fuel for new star formation, while outflowing gas carries away the chemically-enriched products from earlier generations of stars. In the Milky Way, we have a front-row seat for viewing the multi-phase gas flows that circulate…
Fermi suppression of optically-induced inelastic scattering: Toward optical control of a weakly interacting Fermi gas
Title: Topology, Spin and Orbital in DNA-like Chiral Quantum Materials Abstract: In chemistry and biochemistry, chirality represents the structural asymmetry characterized by non-superimposable mirror images for a material like DNA. In physics, however, chirality commonly refers to the spin-momentum locking of a particle or quasiparticle in the momentum space. While seemingly unrelated characters in different…
