Quantum computing is a rapidly advancing field that is poised to take on complex problems that elude even the most powerful supercomputers. In this talk, I will discuss the following:    •   What is quantum computing and how can it be applied?    •   My journey from Symbolic Systems into ...
The James Webb Space Telescope was launched on Dec. 25, 2021, and commissioning was completed in early July 2022. With its 6.5 m golden eye, and cameras and spectrometers covering 0.6 to 28 µm, Webb is already producing magnificent images of galaxies, active galactic nuclei, star-forming regions, and planets. Scientists ...
Globular clusters are beautiful and ancient structures that have been providing insight into the structure of our galaxy and the evolution of stars for more than 100 years. I will describe the role that binary stars play in their fascinating internal dynamics and examples of how binaries are revealed in ...
Jeffrey Gordon received his A.B. from Oberlin College and his M.D. from the University of Chicago. He completed his clinical training in internal medicine and gastroenterology at Washington University and was a post-doctoral fellow in the Laboratory of Biochemistry at NIH’s National Cancer Institute. He has spent his entire career ...
Overturning the Paradigm: What systems approaches tell us about glycosylation and non-coding RNA - CANCELEDGlycans offer cells a rich coding space, integrating information from the genome, transcriptome and proteome that reflects both cell status and the function of cells within an organism. Their position at the outer edge of cellular space makes them ideal partners for immune cell recognition and targets for pathogens including ...

Narrowing the search for axion dark matterThe quantum chromodynamics axion and axion-like particles are some of the most sought-after beyond the Standard Model particles at present because of their possible connections with the strong-CP problem, dark matter, and ultraviolet physics such as Grand Unification and String Theory. Laboratory searches are underway around the world to search ...
