It will be too cold to eat outside and we’ve heard from students that they do NOT want to go to the LDC, so let’s try to meet in the Ground State (lower level of Anderson) to get together for lunch tomorrow / Tuesday the 2nd at noon. If you are OFF BOARD, see Trenne for a lunch voucher. Otherwise, grab something from the LDC or Sayles or Schulze and join us downstairs!

synopsis Kinks Free Charged Particles from Flux Ropes
October 28, 2021
Charged particles accelerated by magnetic reconnection in astrophysical plasmas should get stuck in flux ropes. Simulations show that kink instabilities set them free.
synopsis Lone Spin Remains Shielded Despite Superconductivity
October 27, 2021
Researchers explore the question of whether a Kondo cloud—a phenomenon common in conventional metals—can also occur in superconductors.
synopsis Sand Dune Hurdles
October 26, 2021
A simple experimental setup allows researchers to pinpoint the conditions under which a migrating sand dune crosses over an obstacle or gets trapped against it.
