Astrophysics Seminar: "TBA"
Neal Dalal (Perimeter)
Condensed and Living Matter Seminar: Understanding spontaneous assembly in biology: How self-assembly and phase separation work together to build biological structures.
LaNell Williams (Princeton)
How does nature build complex structures from repetitive strands of nucleic acid lipids and proteins? Furthermore how does nature decide upon what physical principles to use to build these structures? We hope to…
Condensed and Living Matter Seminar: Living systems in crowded spaces: from microbial communities to biomolecular condensates
Alejandro Martinez-Calvo (Princeton)
Spatial organization in living systems is crucial for their functioning and is typically achieved in complex environments—from molecular processes in the crowded cytoplasm to microbial collectives growing in…
Astrophysics Seminar: "TBA"
Susanna Azzoni (Princeton)
Experimental Particle Physics Seminar: Real-time Anomaly Detection at the CMS Experiment
Isobel Ojalvo (Princeton)
Condensed and Living Matter Seminar: Cellular collective behavior in spatially complex environments
Emily Hager (Boston University)
Collective behaviors are processes in which large-scale patterns arise from fundamentally local interactions among individuals; in biological systems, these can be organisms, cells, or molecules. A critical open…
Condensed and Living Matter Seminar: Of the Surface of Things: Ice, Drops, Bubbles, Singularities
Saurabh Nath (MIT)
Place a drop of water on an icy surface—it crystallizes at the point of contact, and a slow ice front steadily grows upwards. Place a bubble instead, and a burst of ice crystals erupts across its interface, far from…
High Energy Theory Seminar: CMB limits on decaying dark matter: going beyond the ionization threshold
Wenzer Qin (NYU)
The temperature and polarization anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) have been used to set constraints on decaying dark matter models down to keV masses. In this talk, I will discuss recent work to…
Colloquium: Energetic Optimization During Cell Division
Michael Murrell (Yale University)
Living systems are driven far from thermodynamic equilibrium through the continuous consumption of ambient energy. This energy is invested in the formation of complex, internal macromolecular structures and diverse…
