Diffuse Galaxies As a Probe for Dark MatterLow mass galaxies provide an essential testing ground for theoretical predictions of cosmology. They dominate the counts in the Local Group and have high mass-to-light ratios, making them ideal for studying dark matter on small scales. Recent advances in telescope instrumentation have opened a new window into the population of ...

Peculiar Velocities in Cosmology The Universe is not homogenous. Since the early times, its structures have grown and moved under the laws of gravity. By measuring these motions today we are able to trace the history of the Universe expansion and gravity laws and hence test the General Relativity. Peculiar velocity measurements rely on ...

Transport Properties of Complex NanosystemsHeat, charge, and mass are fundamental energy carrying modes relevant to nearly all dynamic properties of interest in engineering, physics, and modern energy technologies. Here, I will discuss the design and understanding of transport properties in complex nanoscale systems where the dimensional constraints are changed systematically to reveal fundamental principles ...
Carbon dioxide is one of the most attractive renewable C1 resources, which has many practical advantages such as abundance, economic efficiency, and lack of toxicity. The favorable nature as a carbon source is, however, inextricably linked to its inherent inertness. Here we report a new strategy to circumvent thermodynamic and ...
