GIGA-Lens: A Fast Differentiable Bayesian Inference Framework for Strong LensingStrong gravitational lensing systems constitute a powerful tool for cosmology. They are uniquely suited to probe the low-end of the dark matter mass function and test the predictions of the cold dark matter model beyond the local universe. Multiply lensed quasars (and supernovae in the near future) are being used ...
A study of nearly-magnetic metals - CanceledThe contemporary understanding of the behavior of electrons in solids took the better part of a half century to develop - it turns out to be remarkably robust, only failing to describe the properties of certain exotic materials in extreme environments. In these circumstances we find states of matter that ...

Emergent electronic and excitonic physics in TMD moiré superlattices - LivestreamHeterostructures of 2D materials offer remarkable opportunities for creativity and control in electronic material design. Recently, a unique prospect for 2D stacks has emerged: the ability to tune the twist angle between atomic layers. With a small twist angle or lattice mismatch, the interference of two atomic lattices produces a ...
A social justice advocate, energy and climate change trailblazer and accomplished legislator, Nancy Skinner was first elected to the state Senate in 2016 after completing three terms in the state Assembly. Senator Skinner currently serves as chair of the Senate’s Budget and Fiscal Review Committee and vice-chair of the Legislative ...
Can we really tackle bias and discrimination?Dive into the research with Asst. Professor Eason, UC Berkeley Psychologist, to demystify why prejudice and bias have persisted for so long. Understand the impacts of our “representational landscapes”, such as why folks like Native Americans and queer people get left out of our ...
It was once thought that gravity and quantum mechanics were inconsistent with one another. Instead, we are discovering that they are so closely connected that one can almost say they are the same thing. Professor Leonard Susskind, Stanford University, will explain how this view came into being over the last ...
San Francisco’s shoreline has changed dramatically over the centuries and continues to change today.Join a California State Parks Interpreter as we take a walk through the history of south San Francisco’s shoreline and explore how our shorelines have shifted due to both natural phenomenon and human activity. You’ll have the ...
The stars beckon. But humans evolved on Earth, not to hurtle through space. For long-duration travel - interplanetary and, even, interstellar - what spacecraft accomodations are necessary? Is on-board human hibernation an option? Might we overcome the problems of space radiation and prolonged weightlessness? Finally, scientists may argue that the ...
