What role should scientists play in public policy nationally or
locally? Do we have any more of an obligation than others to
participate in the political process? While technical issues are
clearly within the natural purview of a scientist, is a...
Abstract: While the experimental program
to detect ever lighter dark matter is proceeding full steam ahead,
the theory of such light, detectable dark matter is at a
crossroads. I will detail two examples of sub-GeV hadrophilic dark
matter models...
Abstract: Holography relates quantum
many-body systems to gravitational theories. Quantum entanglement
plays a key role to explain how the spacetime geometries in gravity
emerge from quantum systems. A new class of holography can be found
by...
The fast solar wind that fills the heliosphere originates from
deep within regions of open magnetic field on the Sun called
‘coronal holes’. The energy source responsible for accelerating the
plasma is widely debated, however there is evidence that...
For more than a decade, enigmatic extragalactic flashes called
fast radio bursts (FRBs) have defied a definitive explanation for
their origin. In addition, the unique properties of FRBs make them
promising probes of both cosmology and the...
