Abstract: Saturn's largest moon, Titan, is an ocean world with a dense atmosphere, abundant complex organic material on its icy surface, and a liquid-water ocean in its interior. The joint NASA-ESA Cassini- Huygens mission revealed Titan to be surprisingly Earth-like, with active geological processes and opportunities for organic material to have mixed with liquid water on the surface in the past. These attributes make Titan a singular destination to seek answers to fundamental questions about what

Abstract: The black hole information paradox — whether information escapes an evaporating black hole or not — remains one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of theoretical physics. The apparent conflict between validity of semiclassical gravity at low energies and unitarity of quantum mechanics has long been expected to find its resolution in the deep quantum gravity regime.
Abstract: RNAs are notoriously flexible biomolecules, requiring an ensemble-representation of their structure. Constructing such dynamical ensembles, which comprise the set of conformations an RNA can adopt, along with their associated populations, is challenging because biophysical measurements only indirectly report on the properties of the underlying conformational (Boltzmann) distribution.

Abstract:
X-ray microscopes are undergoing a revolution, driven by the availability of laser-like X-ray beams, fast X-ray detectors, as well as image advanced algorithms. Until recently, the spatial resolution of X-ray microscopes was 10x the theoretical (diffraction) limit. This talk will highlight recent advances in building near-perfect X-ray microscopes that can see better, and moreover, stroboscopically image the fastest motions in materials in real time.
