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: PAB-1 granules as a biomarker for aging in C. elegans Abstract: TBD Host: Sharonda LeBlanc
Investigating Nucleosynthesis in Massive AGB Stars with Transfer Reactions
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…
Title and Abstract details are forthcoming. Host: Jim Kneller
SCIENCE CAFE: CAUGHT IN THE ACT: ATOMS IN MOTION AND THE 2023 NOBEL PRIZE IN PHYSICS Grab a bite from the Daily Planet Cafe and join host Chris Smith and special guests for the Science Cafe. On the 3rd Thursday of every month at 7pm, gather with other curious minds at this after-hours event for…
Title: Star Formation in the Galactic Center: The Role of Radiative Feedback Abstract: The presence of young, massive stars around the central black hole of the Milky Way suggests a substantial mass inflow event to the Galactic Center approximately 3-6 million years ago. Numerical models of gas inflow toward a supermassive black hole show…
Title: Control of Segmentation Timing in the Zebrafish Notochord Abstract: Many developmental processes require coordination across multiple cells to achieve a common function. One way to achieve this harmony is through control of developmental timing, regulated by genetic species acting as biological timekeepers. In this talk, I will discuss evidence of an oscillatory system in…
