SUMMARY:Physics Colloquium:  Brittany Kamai
DESCRIPTION:Title: Navigating into our Gravitational-wave Future \nAbstract: We are living in an astrophysics transformation because decades ago technologists started to design and build our future. They figured out that we could convert the dynamic motion of space-time into a detectable signal and developed technology to create the Advanced Gravitational-wave detector network. In the last six years\, we swiftly moved from the first-ever direct detection into catalogs of 10s of new sources. These observations enable direct measurements of General Relativity’s robustness\, independent cosmological tracers\, and how we understand the environments stars live and die. We are starting to see a glimmer of what is on our horizon. In this presentation\, I will discuss how we are designing the future of gravitational wave astrophysics to ensure the field’s longevity. I will share where we are within the generations of gravitational wave detector development\, including the next ambitious project\, Cosmic Explorer. I will describe how I am bringing the world of metamaterials into gravitational wave instrumentation and the potential for improving our detector’s sensitivity. \nHost: Katie Mack

SUMMARY:Physics Colloquium:  Prithwish Tribedy
DESCRIPTION:Title: Search for the Chiral Magnetic Effects at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider \nAbstract: Relativistic heavy ion collisions (HICs) at the modern accelerators like the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider the Large Hadron Collider provide unique testing ground for the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) at high energies. The early stages of such collisions generate highest densities allowed by QCD and eventually leads to the formation of a liquid-like quark-gluon matter that filled the microsecond-old universe. Interestingly\, the early stages of HICs also generate the strongest known electromagnetic fields (10^18 Gauss) in the universe. The quantum fluctuations in the early stages of such collisions amidst such strong fields can lead to violation of local P and CP symmetries of strong interactions. As a consequence of such extreme conditions one expects to observe novel phenomena such as the Chiral Magnetic Effect (CME). In this talk I will give an overview of the recent experimental efforts at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory towards a decisive experimental test of this phenomena. \nHost: Vladimir Skokov

SUMMARY:Physics Colloquium: Dan Needleman
DESCRIPTION:Title: Cytoskeletal Energetics and Energy Metabolism \nAbstract: Life is a nonequilibrium phenomenon. Metabolism provides a continuous flux of energy that dictates the form and function of many subcellular structures. These subcellular structures are active materials\, composed of molecules which use chemical energy to perform mechanical work and locally violate detailed balance. One of the most dramatic examples of such a self-organizing structure is the spindle\, the cytoskeletal based assembly which segregates chromosomes during cell division. Despite its central role\, very little is known about the nonequilibrium thermodynamics of active subcellular matter\, such as the spindle. In this talk\, I will describe ongoing work from my lab aimed at understanding the flows of energy which drive the nonequilibrium behaviors of the cytoskeletan in vitro and in vivo. \nHost: Mary Elting
