Radiation pressure of electromagnetic fields have been widely used in nanomanipulation and tunable optics, but the interplay between the gradient force and the scattering force results in limited working range. Here we show that the complete suppression of backscattering in photonic topological materials provides new ways of controlling optical ...

In monolayer TMDs (MX2), quasiparticle (or carrier) scattering by nonmagnetic disorder is highly sensitive to the spin-valley coupling which suppresses intervalley scattering when the spin-orbit splitting of the bands in the K,K' valleys is large. Here, we report on an additional symmetry-induced selection rule which relies on a three-fold rotat...

Ability of bacterial cells to respond to environmental stress with large-scale changes in gene expression are central to pathogen infections, food spoilage and many other public health concerns. To control the responses, cells use their gene circuits €“ regulatory networks of sensors, signaling proteins, and transcription factors €“ to interpret...

Human physiology is a complex system composed of many interacting negative feedback loops involving hormones, nerves, transporters, physical anatomy and other factors. Redundancy in physiology complicates accurate prediction of a patient’s response. For any given medical therapy or intervention, 10-90% of potential patients are resistant, achi...

This talk will provide a short overview of our work with operators of smart transportation systems (bike-share systems and an on-demand public transport provider). In each of these engagements, we use large-scale system-use data to estimate commuter responses to aspects of the system’s operational performance. For example, we use data from a b...

Catastrophic Generic Change: Understanding Global Interconnectedness. In this lecture, Poovey describes the current financial crisis and argues that regulators need to identify the heart of the problem before they can devise a workable corrective. She suggests that what caused -- and now prolongs -- the financial crisis is a novel financial inst...

Feedback loops and other control structures are endemic in biochemical pathways. In the majority of cases we have little understanding of how they contribute to the fitness of an organism. For example, glycolysis which is arguably the most understood biochemical pathway, has over ten regulatory loops that modulate its behavior. In general the ex...

Microorganisms such as bacteria and spermatozoa move in a world where viscous forces completely dominate inertial forces, and the time evolution of their motion may be thought of as a sequence of steady state snapshots. In this world, what motility strategies give rise to efficient locomotion? The study of the fluid dynamics of microorganism mot...

In this presentation, the well-established approaches of coupling tsunami generation to seismic seafloor motion and the following trans-oceanic wave propagation will be briefly introduced. The focus of the discussion will be on the complex transformation of the tsunami as it approaches very shallow water, as well as how these possibly large and ...

Undine. Teardrop-shaped clear glass container with slender spout on one end and small, cylindrical opening on the other end stopped up with a small piece of cotton. An undine was a vessel that was used to flush blood and other detritus out of the eye during surgical operations. The undine gets its name from a mythical German water spirit or merm...

The "Un sac de Billes" Lithographs are based on French Holocaust survivor, Joseph Joffo's (1931-) memoir "Un sac de Billes" (A Bag of Marbles) published in 1973. The book is based on Joffo and his brother's experience during World War II, after their father gives them 5000 francs and instructions to flee Nazi-occupied Paris and, somehow, get to ...
