'North: The Future of Post-Climate America'Climate change is already influencing how and where people live.Join us at BESI as urban planner Jesse M. Keenan discusses his new book, North: The Future of Post-Climate America, which explores how climate change is shaping the physical and demographic future of the United States. The book documents a new ...
I'm really interested in understanding how environmental factors impact an individuals' life history strategy and how this strategy in turn impacts their performance in future environments. In the Williams lab, I'm using the wing polymorphism in Gryllus crickets as a model to tease apart this interaction between the environment and ...
Scientific progress is a key driver of economic growth and prosperity. There is great excitement- but also concerns- about the impacts of AI on science, but so far little data. We provide early insights on this from three data sources: a sample of 15 million Gemini interactions, an inventory of ...
Understanding reservoir evolution is essential for developing enhanced geothermal systems (EGS). Induced seismicity carries rich information about subsurface stress changes and fracture activation during EGS development. This presentation synthesizes recent studies at Cape Station and Utah FORGE using seismic networks and borehole distributed acoustic sensing (DAS). We examine microearthquake stress drops, ...
Understanding and controlling quantum phases of matter is one of the central challenges of condensed matter physics. In this talk, I will describe how our group uses this challenge as a unifying thread to connect experiment, theory, and artificial intelligence, with topological van der Waals materials as our primary arena.I ...

In measurements on spin ensembles, the standard quantum limit on sensitivity is set by spin projection noise and scales as the inverse square root of the number of spins. Cold atoms, atomic vapor cells, and color centers in solids reach this regime with ensembles of up to 10¹³ spins. Increasing ...
Artificial intelligence and energy are becoming deeply intertwined. AI is driving new demand for power, and it is also emerging as a powerful tool for making energy systems cleaner, more reliable, and more efficient. What does that two-way relationship look like in practice, and where is it heading?Join us for ...
The camera is a common metaphor for human vision. In the eyeball, the comparison holds up: both cameras and eyes have an aperture, a lens, and a sheet of detectors that turn light into an image. But once you consider the rest of the brain, the metaphor completely falls apart.In ...
