Precisely Controlled Macromolecular Architecture by ATRPVarious well-defined polymers with precisely controlled macromolecular architecture were prepared under environmentally benign conditions, with ppm of catalysts, in an aqueous environment, and in open-air with temporal control by light, electrical current, mechanical forces, or benign chemicals such as ascorbic acid. The dynamic exchange between active radicals and dormant species ...

AI, Cyber & Systemic Risk: Securing the Digital FrontlineNicole Perlroth, former NYT journalist and cyber investor, explores how AI is amplifying threats and reshaping defense - implications for risk, resilience, and governance.Attend in person or on Zoom (see weblink)
Digital mental health interventions (DMHIs) hold promise to advance mental health equity by addressing provider shortages, reaching individuals who might not seek services in traditional healthcare settings, and making evidence-based treatments available 24/7. However, DMHI science to date has rarely involved members of historically marginalized groups in the development, testing, ...
The proliferation of marine algae in the Neoproterozoic Era is thought to have stimulated the ecology of predatory microbial eukaryotes (protists) and the evolution of more modern marine food webs. Paleontologists and geochemists have predicted that these algae-eating microbial predators would have been restricted to well-oxygenated marine waters, and would have been near-absent in anoxic ...
In this talk, several recent developments in the study of fractionalized states of matter will be reviewed. The focus will primarily be on the condensed matter physics perspective, presenting a theoretical approach to the Fractional Chern Insulator (the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect without a magnetic field), its unique properties, and ...
Polaritons are hybrid light-matter states that arise from strong interactions between the confined electromagnetic field of an optical cavity and an ensemble of intracavity molecules. Molecules under such strong cavity coupling appear to demonstrate distinct reactivity and photochemistry from molecules in free space, but the mechanisms and scope of these ...
Advancements in quantum computing have enabled the development of small-scale quantum computers and simulators that adhere to the principles of quantum physics. Despite its rapid progress, those devices are not yet flawless and errors accumulate, posing serious challenges to their application to interesting problems. In this talk I will first ...
