Join us on the first Tuesday of every month for Carolina Science Cafe, Morehead Planetarium and Science Center’s free, current science awareness program. For this month, we will be joined by Adrienne Erickcek to learn about dark energy and what … Read more
“Design, Fabrication, and Actuation of a Magnetic Micro-actuator Platform for Passive Fluid Flow, Active Fluid Flow, and Cell Motility Studies” The actuating surface-attached post (ASAP) array project draws on inspiration from natural phenomena, namely the methods by which cilia … Read more
Title: Gaia Excess Magnitude Uncertainties as a Proxy for Stellar Age Abstract: Young stars are known to be more active, leading to a long-studied correlation between stellar age and photometric variability. Although individual, similarly aged stars seem to largely vary in … Read more
Sign Optimization and Quantum Field Theories: Lessons from QCD-like models Monte Carlo methods using the lattice formulation provide the only known procedure for calculating the predictions of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) in the low energy, strongly coupled regime. In the … Read more
Development of a Characterization Facility and Analysis Process for LEGEND-200 HPGe Detectors Neutrinos are tiny, neutral particles with masses much smaller than other particles in the Standard Model. This mass difference could be explained if the neutrino is a … Read more
"Enabling the Future of Fast Transient Characterization: Building ArgusSpec and Prototyping the Argus Array" Searches for short-duration astrophysical transients, such as stellar superflares, small planet microlensing events, and optical counterparts to gamma-ray bursts, are challenging due to their stochastic … Read more
The Triangle Nuclear Theory Colloquium (TNT) is a DOE-funded Colloquium series jointly organized and held at Duke University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) and the North Carolina State University (NC-State). Speaker: Evan Berkowitz Institution: Forschungszentrum Jülich … Read more
From bioinspired structure formation to particle-based metamaterials Andreas Fery Institut für Polymerforschung Dresden and Technical University Dresden, Germany Metallic nanoparticles offer a number of interesting optical and electronic effects. A prominent example is localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), which … Read more
