One in ten humans on Earth uses an AI tool such as ChatGPT at least weekly. Many people share extremely personal information with chatbots, and that information may be stored for a long time. How private are our conversations with AI chatbots? This talk will go over some basics of ...
A progress report on our efforts to improve EV and utility battery energy storage, stop greenhouse gas emissions in agriculture due to fertilizer use and necessity of direct air capture of CO2 will be discussed.Speaker: Steven Chu, Stanford University

Engineering Topological Quantum Matter in Space and TimeTopology has emerged as a unifying principle in modern condensed matter physics and materials science, enabling quantum phases that are remarkably robust yet exquisitely sensitive to their underlying environment. While traditional approaches to topological materials discovery rely on chemistry, the rise of moiré quantum materials suggests a different strategy: engineering ...
A novel aspect of recent experiments with quantum devices is that measurements can play an active role in preparing the state of the system, rather than just in diagnosing it. Unlike unitary evolution, the quantum collapse induced by local measurements can have a highly non-local impact on the state, instantaneously ...
I will talk about GammaTPC, a new MeV-GeV gamma-ray instrument based on liquid argon time projection chamber (TPC) technology. The MeV sky in particular is poorly measured, largely due to instrumental challenges. A transformative instrument in this energy range will enable a broad range of measurements, especially in the upcoming ...
Expanding data center infrastructure to train and deploy artificial intelligence (AI) models is driving a surge in electricity demand in the U.S., and associated impacts for costs, emissions, and resource use. The electric infrastructure buildout from this AI growth will influence the capabilities and feasibility of broader electrification. We develop ...
How is the mushroom diversity on 10 acres of land surrounded by forest, densely planted with trees and shrubs brought in from all over the state of California? Ben Anderson will take you on a tour of mushrooms at the Regional Parks Botanic Garden (Tilden Botanic Garden) with a special ...
