A grand challenge with great opportunities is to develop a coherent framework that enables blending conservation laws, physical principles, and/or phenomenological behaviors expressed bydifferential equations with the vast data sets available in many fields of engineering, science, and technology. At the intersection of probabilistic machine learning, deep learning, and scientific ...

Towards Higher-Tc Cuprate Superconductors"Quantum materials" are heating up, and let's not forget the cuprate high-temperature superconductors being one of them. These oxides are structurally layered, host a plethora of symmetry breaking phases, and have strong electron-electron Coulomb interactions. The ultimate questions are - what makes its transition temperature (Tc) so high, and (how) ...
Shortly after the birth of the Universe, space was filled with glowing red-hot plasma. As the universe expanded and cooled over the next 13.8 billion years, the glow of that plasma redshifted to longer wavelengths and is observed today by our telescopes as the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). Spatial variations ...

New Insights into the Cosmic Growth of Supermassive Black HolesUsing a "wedding cake" combination of multi-wavelength X-ray+infrared+optical surveys, we measure the growth of supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies over the ~12 billion years. Most actively growing black holes ("Active Galactic Nuclei" or AGN) are heavily obscured and thus look like inactive galaxies in optical surveys, so ...
This presentation will cover the history and roles of the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) as it relates to their delegation agreement with the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Organizational near-term priorities will be discussed as it relates to current and future ...

Building a Galaxy-Scale Gravitational Wave DetectorGalaxies grew in the early universe by merging with each other, and as they coalesced, the supermassive black holes at their hearts merged with each other, too. Einstein's theory of general relativity predicts the existence of gravitational waves - the stretching and squeezing of space itself - as such black ...
