A Healthy Society Series: Communicating Science (in a Science-Skeptical World) - LivestreamAs a driver of global health, prosperity and planetary sustainability, science pervades all realms of human activity. The COVID pandemic of the past year and the prospect of its eventual resolution have put science (and scientists) at the forefront of an international cultural conversation. Yet communicating facts and credible research ...

Full-Spectrum Science: LASERS! - LivestreamJoin Exploratorium scientist Ron Hipschman for colorful explorations of the physical world - in this case, lasers! Find out what's special about laser light, how it's made, and how it's used in everything from Blu-ray to eye surgery to fusion energy research.See weblink for YouTube and Facebook Live links.
Small molecule transformations, such as CO2 or N2 reduction, in biology and solar fuels chemistry require multi-electron and multi-proton reaction sequences. The goal of synthetically realizing these reaction types provides a rich landscape for exploring new ideas in the design, synthesis, and characterization of inorganic and organometallic molecules. This talk ...

Efficiently Protecting Software Innovations on a Global Scale - LivestreamTo be competitive, software companies often employ designers and developers in different locations and countries to implement and update different versions of software. With this increasing workforce in other countries, software company competition can also stem from other countries, and can provide different flavors of a software product to different ...
The Arecibo Telescope may have tragically collapsed last year, but it doesn’t mean the end of the era of giants in astronomy. Giant ground-based telescopes currently being built will get their first light this decade. The Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) and the Giant Magellan Telescope ...
Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are mysterious events that were discovered only in the last decade by astronomers. They last a few milliseconds at most but are extremely bright sources of radio waves. They are so bright that we can spot them from distant galaxies. Although we are not fully certain ...
Computer vision systems are now capable of surpassing the performance of human experts in fields like radiology and dermatology. Can they also help us discern real videos from deepfakes - videos manipulated by artificial intelligence? This presentation will provide an overview of the state-of-the-art machine-learning models for detecting deepfakes. It will also present evidence ...
