Vashan Wright, UCSD / Scripps Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics Searching for Evidence of Water in the Martian Crust Liquid water existed on Mars in rivers, lakes, and as groundwater. The water is hypothesized to have subsequently been buried as ice or liquid water, incorporated in minerals, or lost to space. Geophysical measurements have…
Unconventional Solitonic Superfluorescence: A mechanism for high-temperature quantum coherence in metal-halide perovskites
The LEAP! workshop invites high school students to investigate these questions inside the labs of working scientists at NC State. The 202 event will be held on Saturday, Nov 8. You can sign up via this link.

Title: Quantum Tunneling on a Macroscopic Scale Abstract: Join Dr. Weijian Chen and Dr. Xiang Li to explore the scientific journey that led to the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunneling and energy quantization in an electric circuit, an achievement honored by the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics. These discoveries provide opportunities for developing new…
Michael Rubinstein, Duke University Title: The Loops of Life Abstract: In mammalian cells, the cohesin protein complex is believed to regulate chromatin during interphase through active loop extrusion, in which dynamic loops are formed by cohesin translocating along chromatin. We developed a theoretical model that quantifies how key parameters, including cohesin residence time on chromatin,…
Title: A Generalized Critical State Approach for Granular Rheology and Impact Loading Abstract: The dynamics of dense granular-fluid mixtures, such as those occurring in landslides and debris flows, embody a complex interplay and transition between solid mechanics and fluid dynamics. Despite major advances in large-deformation analysis, geotechnical modeling remains largely governed by strain-independent critical state…
