Liquid-Like Interfaces Mediate Structural Phase Transitions in Lead Halide Perovskites

Kavli Affiliate: Peidong Yang | First 5 Authors: Connor G. Bischak, Minliang Lai, Dylan Lu, Zhaochuan Fan, Philippe David | Summary: Microscopic pathways of structural phase transitions are difficult to probe because they occur over multiple, disparate time and length scales. Using $in$ $situ$ nanoscale cathodoluminescence microscopy, we visualize the thermally-driven transition to the perovskite […]

Astro2020 APC White Paper: Providing a Timely Review of Input Demographics to Advisory Committees

Kavli Affiliate: Edmund Bertschinger | Summary:Organizations that support science (astronomy) such as federal agencies, research centers, observatories, academic institutions, societies, etc. employ advisory committees and boards as a mechanism for reviewing their activities and giving advice on practices, policies and future directions. As with any scientific endeavor, there is concern over complementing these committees with […]

Making the Case for Visualization

Kavli Affiliate: Mark SubbaRao | Summary:Visual representation of information is a fundamental tool for advancing our understanding of science. It enables the research community to extract new knowledge from complex datasets, and plays an equally vital role in communicating new results across a spectrum of public audiences. Visualizations which make research results accessible to the […]

Better support for collaborations preparing for large-scale projects: the case study of the LSST Science Collaborations Astro2020 APC White Paper

Kavli Affiliate: Patricia Burchat | Summary:Through the lens of the LSST Science Collaborations’ experience, this paper advocates for new and improved ways to fund large, complex collaborations at the interface of data science and astrophysics as they work in preparation for and on peta-scale, complex surveys, of which LSST is a prime example. We advocate […]

Entanglement, squeezing and state-swap in cholesteric liquid crystals

Kavli Affiliate: Ya Blanter | Summary:Phenomena such as state-swap, quadrature squeezing, entanglement and violation of entanglement inequalities are frequently reported to occur in quantum systems only. It is shown here that these effects can also occur in cholesteric liquid crystals in the presence of an applied magnetic field. The nature of these effects as well […]

Obliterating Thingness: An Introduction to the “What” and the “So What” of Quantum Physics

Kavli Affiliate: Kathryn Schaffer | Summary:This essay provides a short introduction to the ideas and potential implications of quantum physics for scholars in the arts, humanities, and social sciences. Quantum-inspired ideas pepper current discourse in all of these fields, in ways that range from playful metaphors to sweeping ontological claims. We explain several of the […]
