I’ll point out that there are a wide variety of markets, including many in which prices don’t do all the work of deciding who gets what. Then I’ll focus on one of the most unusual markets I’ve helped design, the...
The laser has revolutionized many areas of science and society, transforming the ways we investigate science and enabling trillions of dollars of commerce. Now a second laser revolution is underway with pulsed petawatt-class lasers (1 petawatt: 1 million billion watts)...
The idea for an accelerator on a chip grew from early interactions with SLAC in 1996. The Advanced Accelerator Division led by Robert Siemann elected to collaborate with a campus group led by R. L. Byer. Early success from the...
SLAC was founded in the midst of the Cold War era particle physics heyday, and for a long time, it competed for world leadership in the field, through the construction and operation of cutting-edge accelerators. But the world changed around...
I will describe the importance of understanding spatiotemporal dynamics in ecology, beginning with a number of examples, both empirical and theoretical. I will discuss a number of systems where the study of spatiotemporal dynamics has provided insights into mechanismsI will...
