In recent years, electron microscopy instrumentation and methods have significantly advanced. This progress has greatly benefited both the physical and life sciences, from cryo-EM, which was recognized with the 2017 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, to emerging methods such as low-energy holography and vortex beams. Both communities have developed novel techniques, but open challenges still remain.
Kip Thorne, joint winner of the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics, will deliver the Department of Physics’ 43rd Annual Donald R. Hamilton Lecture. His talk, “Exploring the Universe with Gravitational Waves: From the Big Bang to Black Holes and Colliding Stars,” will be held at 8 p.m. Thursday, April 12, in Princeton University’s McDonnell Hall, Room A-02. The lecture is free to the public.
Bob Kopp, Director of the Institute of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences at Rutgers University, will present, "Coastal Risks in an Age of Sea-Level Rise," at noon Monday, March 26, in Wallace Hall, Room 300.
