Cold Gas in Hot Halos: The Formation and Survival of Cold Gas in Galactic Halos In recent years, observations of the circumgalactic medium has undercovered a large reservoir of T ~ 10^4 K, photoionized gas in the much hotter halos of galaxies. Inflowing cold gas in galactic halos helps fuel star formation, whilst outflowing cold gas is our primary observational marker of feedback. However, the ...

Tuning energy levels, energy flow and disorder in nanomaterials through the external environmentLight absorbed by a semiconductor is stored as electronic excitations in the form of bound electron-hole pairs, also known as excitons. There is a rich variety of semiconductor nanostructures available today for the design of novel material systems and interfaces with tailor-made functionalities. In particular, atomically thin two-dimensional materials such ...
The latest AI advances have the potential to massively improve our health and well-being. However, most of the work is yet to be done. In this talk, we will explore the most important opportunities for AI in healthcare. For example, we will explore how AI can diagnose major life-threatening conditions ...
