Amorphous materials have no long-range order, but there are ordered structures at short-range (2-5 Å), medium-range (5-20 Å), and even longer-length scales. While regular and semiregular polyhedra are often identified […]
Color center systems are among the leading platforms in the development of quantum communication and quantum sensing hardware due to their desirable spin, optical, and spin-photon properties. Among them, the […]
As Artificial Intelligence (AI) finds increasing applications in industry and society. Responsible deployment demands that we measure and correct algorithmic biases vis-a-vis protected attributes such as sex, age and ethnicity. […]
The theory of Coherent Perfect Absorption1 (time-reversed lasing) and Reflectionless Scattering Modes2 has shown that there always exist discrete solutions to scattering of electromagnetic waves in multiple-scattering geometries that achieve […]
Synchronized operation of a large number of similar entities can generate behavior that cannot be expected from single one. This principle combined with the physical concept of coherence in waves […]
Fluorinated polymers offer a plethora of unique and sometimes perplexing properties. One of the most interesting is the ability for specific types of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) to undergo room-temperature, sheer-induced, structural […]
This talk presents novel non-parametric methods for analyzing dynamical systems using solely trajectory data. Our critical insight is to replace the notion of invariance, a core concept in Lyapunov Theory, […]
The electric grid is undergoing a transformative paradigm shift, driven by sweeping changes in generation, demand, and energy storage. By 2035, solar PV alone is expected to supply 40% of […]
Research in the Zahrt group focuses on creating new tools to advance organic synthesis by integrating automation and machine learning workflows to enhance molecular function, reaction efficiency, and sustainability. We […]
The human body produces magnetic fields wherever ion exchange occurs. Detecting these pico-Tesla level magnetic fields enables non-invasive monitoring of brain and heart health, but medical-grade sensing methods require large […]
