Two Condensed Matter Physics Talks - LivestreamSuperexchange-induced valley splitting in two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenidesBreaking time-reversal symmetry via an external magnetic field or supporting magnetic substrate has been demonstrated to lift the degeneracy of the band gaps at the inequivalent K and K’ valleys in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), a phenomenon known as valley splitting. However, ...
Astrophysical shock waves are among the most powerful particle accelerators in the Universe. Generated by violent interactions of supersonic plasma flows with the interstellar or intergalactic medium, shocks are inferred to amplify magnetic fields and accelerate electrons and protons to highly relativistic speeds. However, the exact mechanisms that allow these ...

The Revolution Underway in United States Industrial Policy - LivestreamUnited States industrial policy is undergoing a revolutionary change, with important implications for innovation. The historic understanding of the purpose of federal industrial policy is to support the federal government responsibility to maintain employment, stability, and growth. But today federal industrial policy is being defined by a new set of ...
Recreational mathematics involves mathematical puzzles and games, often appealing to children and untrained adults, inspiring their further study of the subject. Can a similar analogy be drawn in biology? Without making any claims of usefulness, we will explore a wide range of puzzles in living systems including: Can single cells be ...

Tequiologies: Indigenous Solutions Against Climate Catastrophe - LivestreamIt is a myth of the West’s choosing: perpetual economic growth, advancing through a digestive system of sorts, one that uses technology as one of its core components. In its churn, ecosystems became goods; people, mere consumers. The myth turned the world into a place increasingly inhospitable to human life. ...
