Title: Connecting Molecules and Forces with Rings and Loops Abstract: Animal cell shape is dictated by the actomyosin cytoskeleton, including the membrane-apposed cortex. The molecular parts list of the cortex is well-characterized, and included the dynamic F-actin polymers, myosin family motor proteins, and myriad non-motor crosslinkers that scaffold the cytoskeleton, the membrane, and regulatory proteins.…
Title: Photothermal Heating with Nanoparticles: Enhancing Electrical Conductivity in Composites and Water Vapor Formation in Hydrogels Abstract: Photothermal heating is the conversion of light into heat. When nanoparticles are embedded in materials, we are able to precisely control localized heating in a sample using photothermal heating of the nanoparticles. We use this heating in two areas…
Development of a solid deuterium UCN source and associated components for studies of systematic effects in nEDM measurements
Experimental Studies of 24Mg States and Their Impact on Nucleosynthesis in Globular Clusters
Title: A New Generation of Millimeter and Submillimeter Observations for Cosmology and Astrophysics Abstract: In our exciting era of experimental cosmology, rapid developments in instrumentation and highly sensitive superconducting detectors have provided a wealth of arcminute-scale cosmic microwave background (CMB) data. These measurements are transforming our understanding of the evolution of our cosmos. I will…

Speaker: Anton Malko Title: Heralded Photons and Stimulated Emission Using Colloidal Semiconductor Quantum Shells Abstract: Spherically shaped semiconductor nanoplatelets, called quantum shells (QSs) have recently attracted considerable attention as they exhibit strongly suppressed Auger recombination, ultralong biexciton (BX) lifetimes and broad gain bandwidth. However, no applications that demonstrate true lasing action using QSs in optical cavity configurations have…
