Tailoring Electronic Structures of 2D Heterostructures - LivestreamAtomically thin, single-crystalline 2D electronic materials have recently emerged, offering a remarkably wide range of building blocks of nanostructures, ranging from metals (e.g. graphene), large gap insulators (BN), to semiconductors (transition metal dichalcogenides and black phosphorous). One key advantage of these van der Waals materials lies in the flexibility of ...
In 2017 April, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) observed the near-horizon region around the supermassive black hole at the core of the M87 galaxy. These 1.3 mm wavelength observations revealed a compact asymmetric ring-like source morphology. This structure originates from synchrotron emission produced by relativistic plasma located in the immediate ...

Quantum computing with superconducting circuits at Google - LivestreamHow do quantum computers work? Let's start from a couple basic surprises of quantum mechanics and develop an appreciation for the physics and logic underlying quantum computing. Then we'll delve into the implementation we're working on at Google Quantum AI, superconducting circuits.Speaker: Dr. Kevin Satzinger, Google Quantum AIZoom link

Reproducibility and contingency in the evolution and ecology of microbial communities - LivestreamMicrobes form complex multi-species communities that play many critical roles across the biosphere. Building quantitative models that may help us predict the composition and function of a microbial community in a given habitat is a long-standing aspiration. To this end, we must understand what features of microbial communities (and at what ...
