Title: Why is it So Difficult to Measure Small Forces and Torques Precisely? Abstract: Standard advice to the young experimentalist is to convert the scientific experiment into either a frequency or a null measurement. The speaker of this colloquium has done neither and will share the trouble that he has gotten into in hopes of…

Title: A Brief Tour of Ab Initio Nuclear Many-Body Theory Abstract: The capabilities of ab initio many-body calculations for nuclear structure and reactions have expanded dramatically within recent years. We have seen first converged calculations for nuclei as heavy as Pb208, a first attempt at a mass table up to the iron region, and efforts…

Title: Control of Polarization in 2D Hybrid Perovskites Abstract: The precise control of polarization in solid-state materials holds immense significance across various scientific disciplines, particularly optics and electronics. This control enables tailored manipulation of light-matter interactions, device functionalities, and electronic properties, leading to a host of practical applications. In this presentation, I will showcase our…
