Abstract: Answering outstanding questions in cosmology - such as understanding the physics of inflation, dark energy, and reionization - requires observations of ever-increasing volumes of the universe. In this talk I will discuss a new technique for measuring large volumes...

Abstract: OceanOne is a robotic diver with a high degree of autonomy for physical interaction with the marine environment.   The robot’s advanced autonomous capabilities for physical interaction in deep-sea are combined with the cognitive abilities of a human expert...

Abstract: The most recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report shows that we will need several gigatons of carbon dioxide removal annually to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. A nascent but rapidly growing private sector is attempting to...

Abstract: Attosecond pulse trains (APT) emerged from high harmonics (Anne L’Huillier et al,  1987) and their spectral phase determination by RABBITT (Pierre-Marie Paul et al, 2001).  Although the record of the shortest pulse of 43 attoseconds belongs to the...

Abstract: On Dec 13, 2022, the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Accelerator Laboratory achieved Ignition. 2.05MJoule produced by 192 lasers were converted into 3.15Mjoule of fusion power. The first time on earth, controlled nuclear fusion produced a...
