Understanding and Responding to the Current Mpox Outbreak - LiveestreamThe recent, rapid spread of the new clade 1B strain of mpox (formerly called monkeypox) in Central Africa has prompted the second Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) since the global outbreak of mpox in 2022. Learn the latest about the current epidemic in this panel conversation with experts representing a variety of perspectives. In ...
This talk examines the role of soft-switching inverters in electric vehicle (EV) charging and battery management systems (BMS), focusing on technological advancements and their impact. The integration of variable frequency critical soft-switching (VF-CSS) with wide-bandgap semiconductors, optimized AC filters, and real-time control enables the production of stable sine wave output ...
We construct a local decoder for the 2D toric code using ideas from the hierarchical classical cellular automata of Tsirelson and G'acs. Such a decoder is realized as a circuit of strictly local quantum channels that preserves the logical subspace of the toric code for exponential time in the presence ...
Dark matter is a feebly interacting particle that is thought to compose 85% of the matter content of the Universe. One potential candidate for the dark matter is the axion, a particle so light it exhibits wave-like behavior. At SLAC, we search for axions using ultra-low noise radios immersed in ...

Cryo-EM of proton pumps in the mammalian brainIntercellular communication in the nervous system occurs through the release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft between neurons. In the presynaptic neuron, the proton pumping vesicular- or vacuolar-type ATPase (V-ATPase) powers neurotransmitter loading into synaptic vesicles (SVs), with the V1 complex dissociating from the membrane region of the enzyme before ...

What Physicists Do - Student Research TalksFour Sonoma State Physics students will present short talks based on their summer research projects on topics including: ATLAS, the largest general purpose particle detector experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, using quantum sensing to search for direct detection of Dark Matter, and exploring Conformal Field Theory.Speakers: Madison Ambriz, Bahareh ...
What do black holes get up to when they are on their own? This talk will describe the evolution of a universe containing only a single black hole, starting with classical physics figured out in the 1960s and continuing to dynamics that requires a fully quantum theory of gravity and ...
The Sun, our nearest star, is more than just a blazing ball of fire. Its atmosphere, hotter than its already scorching surface, presents a puzzle that has intrigued scientists for years. How does the Sun's magnetic field heat its chromosphere to 10,000 degrees - and its corona to more than ...
