Emission-line galaxies in the era of cosmological surveysCosmological surveys in the next decade will contain multiwavelength information of billions of galaxies. The challenges ahead are to distinguishing between different cosmological scenarios and/or gravity models and track accurately the build-up and formation history of galaxies. In this scenario, the role of galaxy formation is enhanced by the varied ...

Observational constraints on the structure of gamma-ray burst jets and lessons from GW170817 Motivated by GW170817 we examine observational constraints on the angular structure of gamma-ray burst (GRB) jets. First, the relatively narrow observed distribution of the early X-ray afterglow to prompt gamma-ray energy ratio implies that at any angle that gamma-rays are emitted the Lorentz factor must be large. Specifically, the Lorentz ...
In 1868, a 6.8 or so magnitude earthquake on the Hayward fault caused a small explosion on a hillside 4 miles NE of now downtown Livermore, CA, and an oily spring started up 70 meters away. Thus started the 150-year history of oil and gas exploration and production in Livermore. ...
The Non-Hermitian Chern Insulator During the past decade, the landscape of condensed matter physics has been dominated by a desire to understand the topological nature of materials and the observable consequences that are associated with the presence of topology. To this end, topological band theory has provided a foundation that has allowed for the ...
In recent years X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) have increased by ten or more orders of magnitude in coherence and brightness. XFELs allow for the first time the exploration of the structure and dynamics of atomic, molecular, and high energy density systems at the angstrom-femtosecond space and time scale. XFELs use ...
THE HIGGS BOSON AND SEARCHES FOR NEW PHYSICS AT THE LHCDr. Kathryn Grimm of CSU-East Bay is deputy team leader of the CSU ATLAS program. She was on the team that found evidence for the Higgs Boson, and now is interested in studying the properties of the Higgs Boson, as well as searching for other new particles.
James is the founder and CEO of Trillium Technologies - a technology contractor that specializes in the application of emerging technologies to grand challenges, such as climate change, violent extremism, prevention strategies for cancer and obesity, deforestation mitigation, climate resilience and planetary defense from asteroids.
Since the signing of the Paris agreement in 2015 and its ratification in 2016, direct, large-scale management of CO2 emissions has grown in prominence. This reflects current emissions trends, policy trends, and technology advances. Specifically, major technology progress in carbon capture, CO2 conversion and use (sometimes called carbon-to-value or CO2 ...

SDN: Changing Only Everything About Networking (and IT)It’s been about eight years since Software-Defined Networking (SDN) hit the headlines with a lot of fanfare, initially as a way to disaggregate a Cisco router and reduce the operating expense (Opex) in data centers. Since that time, its more fundamental changes to everything about networking have seeped into not ...
From the iconic mission control center in Houston that guided astronauts to the Moon, to the control centers for robotic explorers that extend our senses to the solar system and beyond, mission control serves as the nerve center for decisions, planning, science, command, and control for our journeys into space. ...
