Comparative study of snake lateral undulation kinematics in model heterogeneous terrain dataset
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2020-09-24)
Terrestrial organisms that use traveling waves to locomote must leverage heterogeneities to overcome drag on the elongate body. While previous studies illuminated how habitat generalist snakes self-deform to use rigid ...
Programming Mechanics in Knitted Materials, Stitch by Stitch - Code
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2021)
Code for simulating periodic knitting patterns, used to generate the results of the manuscript "Programming mechanics in knitted materials, stitch by stitch" by Krishma Singal, Michael S. Dimitriyev, and Elisabetta A. Matsumoto
Universal bound states of two- and three-body quantum systems
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2020-07-27)
When there is a low-energy resonance between two particles, the typical separation of physical length scales no longer holds, and quantum systems can form states that are much larger on average than the characteristic size ...
Leakage mitigation and correction techniques for topological surface codes
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2020-03-16)
A large scale quantum computer would be able to solve many problems that remain intractable for modern classical computers. In order to build such a machine, the quantum system must be protected from environmental influences ...
Including a Warm Corona within the Inner Accretion Disk of Active Galactic Nuclei
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2022-05)
Warm coronae, Comptonizing regions of warm (temperature kT ∼ 1keV), and optically thick (Thomson depth ∼ 10 - 20) gas, at the surfaces of accretion disks in active galactic nuclei (AGNs), have been proposed to explain the ...
Programming Mechanics in Knitted Materials, Stitch by Stitch - Data
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2021)
For centuries, changing the topology of knitted stitches has been used to design fabrics with a variety of mechanical responses. In this work, we untangle the relationship between subtle changes in stitch topology and ...
Optically-Trapped Interacting Fermi Gases
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2021-09-13)
Optically-trapped, ultra-cold gases of spin ½-up and spin ½-down 6Li atoms enable “designer” interactions, offering a versatile environment for simulating exotic quantum systems that span a vast range of energy. A strongly ...
How Materials Can Learn to Function
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2021-03-29)
How does learning occur? In the context of neural networks, learning occurs via optimization, where a loss function is minimized to achieve the desired result. But physical networks such as mechanical spring networks or ...
Origins of Structure in Inner Planetary System
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2021-03-01)
Why do many stars host close-in chains of super-Earths? Why are eccentric gas giants found in some inner planetary systems? What determines which of these outcomes will occur around a particular star? I will present a ...
Revisiting and Repurposing the Double Helix
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2020-08-31)
DNA is an iconic molecule that forms a double helical structure, providing the basis for genetic inheritance, and its physical properties have been studied for decades. In this talk, I will present evidence that sequence ...
