Dubious News and the Aging American: Understanding Discernment and Engagement Among Older AdultsWhy do older adults engage more with misinformation online, even when they often identify falsehoods correctly in surveys? In this talk, I investigate that paradox using a host of survey experiments and behavioral trace data. Analyses across multiple nationally representative samples show that older Americans disproportionately consume and share low-credibility ...
A long-standing debate in the Earth Sciences bears on the question of whether top-down erosion processes govern mountain building processes, but how do we measure the topographic signature of the climate drivers independent of tectonics? I’ll discuss two natural experiments to disentangle topographic signatures previously attributed to climate. I’ll demonstrate ...
This talk will discuss Josephson junction networks from the double-junction SQUID to the frustrated dice-lattice array, examining aspects of 4e superconductivity leading to flat bands and opening a route to protected Josephson qubits. The experiments take advantage of superconductor-semiconductor hybrid materials.Speaker: Charles Marcus, University of Washington
In low-permeability fractured media, such as granites and shales, flow and the associated transport of dissolved solutes is controlled primarily by fractures embedded within the rock matrix. Interplay of individual fracture geometry with network structure determines the properties of the fluid flow field therein. However, relevant lengths scales within a ...
