As satellite constellations multiply and commercial space activity accelerates, astronomers face new challenges to their ability to observe the universe. Join Dr. Laura Newburgh, a leading experimental cosmologist at Yale, for a conversation on the evolving relationship between space innovation and observational astronomy.
In addition to being the first woman to teach at the Sorbonne and the only person ever to have won Nobel Prizes in both physics and chemistry, Marie Curie welcomed other women into her lab. It was her lab from the untimely death of her husband, Pierre, in 1906, till her own death in 1934. She ran it, enlarged it, moved it into the imposing new Radium Institute, and peopled it with an international assembly of scientists, more than forty of whom were women, including her daughter Irène, the second woman to win a Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
Now in science operations, NASA’s Webb Telescope is the most powerful telescope ever built. Science results are now pouring in from Webb like a waterfall. In this talk, Dr. Riby will summarize what this Webb is, how it works, and the breadth and the depth of its science program, from planets in our own solar system to galaxies seen when the Universe was young. She will touch on the power of using Webb in combination with cosmic telescopes, also known as gravitational lenses.
“Assembling quantum matter one atom at a time”
DARKROOM TO DATA is a symposium hosted by the Lens Media Lab featuring the lab’s research into the material history of black and white photography and providing a forum for our principal collaborations, including contributions from colleagues at the Center for Creative Photography, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. The theme of this work is “seeing at scale” through the creation and interpretation of datasets that surface patterns latent in photograph collections.
The Yale Quantum Institute and the Yale Library Digital Humanities Lab have partnered to create an educational application, at the intersection of art and science, where you would need to explore New Haven and the Yale Campus to find your (Schrödinger) cat, and learn about quantum science along the way! We invite you to be one of our very first app testers (we will have computers and tablets or you can bring your own laptop or phone) in the beautiful space of the DHLab.
