Suppressing cooling flows in massive galaxies with cosmic ray injection and turbulent stirringThe quenching "maintenance" and related "cooling flow" problems are important in galaxies from Milky Way mass through clusters. We investigate this in halos with masses ~1e12-1e14 solar mass, using non-cosmological high-resolution hydrodynamic simulations with the FIRE-2 (Feedback In Realistic Environments) stellar feedback model. We first focus on physics present without ...

How do startups collaborate with corporations? (Digital Garage)In short, startups and corporations in the synthetic biology and genomics area working together looks simple on paper but can be challenging in real life. Join this event if you would like to hear how some companies are addressing those challenges and hear about their experiences and thoughts!The event will ...
Petroleum is the single largest source of energy used by humanity. Petroleum provides about 35% of total primary energy supply and meets ablut 95% of our transportation energy needs. Some argue that this dominance is short lived due to rapid expansion of electric vehicles, while others argue for a continued ...

People and Robots SeminarAlthough wildly successful, deep learning systems are also extremely brittle; this is evidenced for example by the widespread possibility of adversarial attacks, specially crafted inputs meant to fool deep classifiers. This talk will discuss our recent work in develop deep classifiers that are provably robust to (certain classes of) perturbation attacks. Our ...

Cold and Ultracold Molecules for Quantum Information and Particle PhysicsWide-ranging scientific applications have created growing interest in ultracold molecules. Heteronuclear bialkali molecules, assembled from ultracold atoms, enabled the study of long-range dipolar interactions and quantum-state-controlled chemistry, and recently have been brought to quantum degeneracy. There are currently several approaches to producing ultracold molecules: atom association, magnetic, electrical, centrifugal, off-resonant ...
