Ars Scientia: An artist and a physicist walked into a glassblowing studio …
Virtual eventThe UBC Ars Scientia collaboration brings together artists and scientists to identify fruitful areas for interdisciplinary work. I'll describe how it plunged this theoretical physicist into a messy (and fun!) glassblowing studio, why it saw me capturing explosions at 100,000 frames per second at the hospital, and how some serendipitous physics observations have taken me […]
Fazel Tafti: A New Paradigm for Colossal Magnetoresistance and Nonlinear Hall Effect
Virtual eventhttps://ubc.zoom.us/j/68470173961?pwd=RTZEak9Pd01WajVOZHN5SW5YZHcyQT09 Meeting ID: 684 7017 3961 Passcode: 113399 Speaker: Fazel Tafti, Boston College Abstract Materials with strong magneto resistive responses are the backbone of spintronic technology, magnetic sensors, and hard drives. Among them, manganese oxides with a mixed valence and a cubic perovskite structure stand out due to their colossal magnetoresistance (CMR). A double exchange […]

Sinéad Griffin: Searching for New Matter
Virtual eventTitle: Searching for New Matter Speaker: Sinéad Griffin, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Abstract: The past decade has seen a huge surge of interest in matter that cannot be described by our standard theories such as Landau-Ginzburg theory or the Standard Model. For example, the theoretical proposal and subsequent experimental realization of topological phases in […]
Cory R. Dean: Towards realizing twistronics on demand
Virtual eventTitle: Towards realizing twistronics on demand Speaker: Cory R. Dean, Department of Physics, Columbia University Abstract: The ability to isolate atomically thin crystals, such as graphene, boron nitride, and the transition metal dichalcogenides, and then mechanically layer them to form new heterostructures has driven a recent revolution in materials design. These layered structures are held […]
