High Energy Theory Seminar: Causality constraints on EFTs

Sera Cremonini (Leigh University)

September 16, 2024 2:00pm - 3:00pm I will discuss how causality can be used to place bounds on higher derivative corrections to Einstein Maxwell theory. Scattering probe photons off of charged shock waves, we obtain new constraints on the Wilson…

Astrophysics Seminar: Exploring solutions to the galaxy diversity problem

Akaxia Cruz (Flatiron Institute/Princeton University)

September 18, 2024 3:30pm - 5:00pm On large scales the Universe is well described by a cosmological model where matter primarily comprises cold dark matter (CDM), a single collision-less particle species with negligible primordial thermal dispersion.…

Condensed and Living Matter Seminar: "Robots that evolve on demand"

Rebecca Kramer-Bottiglio (Yale)

September 18, 2024 3:30pm - 5:00pm Abstract: Soft robots have the potential to adapt their morphology and behavioral control policy to changing tasks and environments. Inspired by the dynamic plasticity of living materials and general adaptability of…

Condensed and Living Matter Seminar: Van der Waals magnets and antiferromagnets interacting with electron spins

Dan Ralph (Cornell University)

September 25, 2024 3:30pm - 5:00pm This talk will discuss two projects. The first concerns topological insulator/magnet samples made by mechanical stacking of exfoliated van der Waals flakes. The proximity interaction of the magnet with the…
