Abstract In this talk, I will describe experiments where an ultracold Fermi gas is strongly coupled to light in optical resonators. In such a system, virtual photon exchanges between atoms yield a long-range, all-to-all interaction leading to a number of …

Abstract Faced with the growing success of discourses that make climate change the driving force behind the successes and (above all) the failures of ancient societies, we need to give a voice to the actors -   humans and non-humans alike   - of …

Abstract Thermalized elastic membranes show strong scale-dependence of their elastic moduli. A beautiful realization is in the physics of thermalized 2D metamaterials, such as graphene, where thermal effects already set in at microscopic length scales. …

Liam Murphy is invited by the assembly of the Collège de France, on the proposal of Pr   Samantha Besson. As part of the agreement signed between Collège de France and New York University. Frontispiece to Thomas Hobbes' "Leviathan" (1651). Public domain. …

Abstract Stage and auditorium, interior and exterior, stage curtain and iron curtain - these are all relationships that can be found both in the theater building and in the object of the performance given there. What, then, is this cramped, rough, black …
