Recent experiments show that the impact of a jet of non-cohesive granular particles produces a highly collimated ejecta sheet. The angle of ejection agrees quantitatively with that produced by the impact of a water jet.  An analogous behavior, the emergence of highly collimated jet upon oblique...

Spin waves were first observed in spin polarized atomic hydrogen gas in the mid 1980's at temperatures between 0.1 and 1.0 K via pulsed NMR. A description of these experiments and their interpretation will be summarized. Later on spin waves have been produced in very dilute helium 3-helium 4 mixtures...

Over 30 years ago researchers investigating the ultimate limits of mechanical detection of gravitational waves understood theoretically how quantum mechanics would appear in these ultra-sensitive mechanical measurements. In the past 10 years the tools to prepare micron-scale mechanical structures...

Bacterial biofilms are structured multicellular communities responsible for lethal infections and catastrophic implant failure in the human body as well as industrial and marine biofouling. Knowing how free-swimming bacteria adapt their motility mechanisms near a surface is crucial for understanding...

Dr. Sreekantan will tell his story, from a Physics PhD earned in the Center for Nonlinear Dynamics, to Houston to Minneapolis and back to Austin, where he is now with RGM Advisors LLC, a proprietary trading firm that applies scientific methods and computing power to trading in multiple asset classes...

The absence of specific sequence motifs marking the origins of replication has been a serious hindrance to the understanding of the mechanisms that regulate the initiation and the maintenance of the replication program in different eukaryotic cell types. Our wavelet-based pattern recognition methodology...
