Fundamentally new, and unexpected phases may emerge when superconductivity appears in a strongly correlated system. In this work we use scanning tunneling microscopy to study an unusual charge density wave (CDW) order in the heavy fermion triplet superconductor, UTe2. Our STM data reveal an incommensurate CDW whose intensity gets weaker ...

How do Neurons, Humans, and Artificial Neural Networks Predict?Dr. Sarah Marzan of Pitzer, Scripps, and Claremont McKenna College will pose the question: Do neurons, humans, and artificial neural networks predict efficiently, and if so, how? Dr. Marzen attacks this problem with information theory and machine learning, applied to new experimental data.Speaker will join remotely.

Regulation of LRRK2: Identifying vulnerabilities for Parkinson’s Disease therapeuticsParkinson’s Disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease, affecting ~10 million people worldwide. One of the most commonly mutated genes in PD codes for Leucine Rich Repeat Kinase 2 (LRRK2). Autosomal dominant mutations in LRRK2 cause familial PD, while mutations in LRRK2 are risk factors for sporadic PD ...
The last few years have seen a remarkable development in our ability to control many neutral atoms individually, and induce controlled quantum interactions between them on demand. This progress ushers in a new era where one can create highly entangled states of many particles, break certain limits for quantum sensors ...
On balance, will AI help humanity or harm it? Proponents of the new technology say AI could revolutionize science, medicine, and technology, and deliver us a world of abundance and better health. Opponents say it could be a disaster, leading to the downfall of democracy, or even our extinction.Gary Marcus ...
