Dr. Wencan Jin, Auburn University Hybrid magnon-phonon cavity realized in a magnetoelastic heterostructure Abstract - Strong coupling between two quantized excitations leads to a hybridized state that allows to explore new phenomena and technologies. Phononic excitations, such as long-lived, high-overtone acoustic waves, can host many well-isolated modes at the same frequency. Meanwhile, magnetic excitations or magnons
Mycobacteriophage structure reveals the molecular architecture for its host interaction and viral genome ejection Recent reports highlight the efficacy of engineered mycobacteriophages to treat non-tuberculosis mycobacterial disease. Molecular-level insights into mycobacteriophage architecture and host interactions could allow structure-guided phage engineering to increase efficacy and broaden host range, but such information is currently unavailable. We describe
Dr. Weidong Zhou, Photonics Center, University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) Scaling towards high-power single-mode PCSELs and PCSEL Arrays (Photonic Crystal Surface-Emitting Lasers) Abstract When it was first invented 60 years ago, the laser was described as “A solution looking for a problem”. Few predicted that lasers would ultimately support multi-trillion-dollar photonics-enabled markets today. Based
