On the origin of the ultra-high energy cosmic-raysThe origin of the ultra-high energy cosmic-rays (UHECRs) is still unknown. I will show that the observational data on the spectrum and composition can be explained by a generic model having one Galactic component and one extragalactic component. I will also discuss the origin of the UHECR dipole anisotropy recently ...

Carbonate formation in meteorite parent bodies: Clues from in-situ C and O isotope analysesCarbonaceous chondrites show evidence for fluid alteration in planetesimals within a few million years of the Solar Systenm's formation. To understand the formation conditions of carbonates in CM chondrites, we measured the C and O isotopic composition of Ca-carbinates and the O isotopic composition of magnetite. These minerals form via ...

Design in Research - How do you use design to support and shape R&D?Corporate Research and Development is evolving, and it increasingly incorporates user experience design, design research, and service design into the earliest stages. The historical separation between basic research, applied research and productization erodes as research horizons shorten, technology diffuses more rapidly, and companies want to take bigger risks sooner. When ...

How to make a topological quantum fluid in 10 easy stepsSince the mid-90s, scientists have been cooling atoms to temperatures lower than that of any other system in the known Universe. These quantum fluids are new materials in which questions from many realms of science, like quantum information and superconductivity, can be studied experimentally. Faced with the short-comings of atoms ...
