Well, for 30 years i pretended to be a chemist. I find being a physics professor to be intellectually liberating.

45 yrs ago. Seems like yesterday!

Hello Bluesky, We just published another paper on quantum synchronization. The article is published as "open access"

I love this book!

Great news! Gauge Theory of Elementary Particle Physics by Ta-Pei Cheng and Ling-Fong Li (Oxford) is now OPEN ACCESS! 🎉 You can read and download it for free using the PDF link below. 📖✨

Short term effects of inhibiting PVT/CR+ neurons after the predatory odour stress exposure. Top: Scheme of the experiment. AAVs were injected into the PVT and behaviour was assessed 4 weeks later. Following a 5 day baseline period to assess home cage behaviours (PRE5), mice were submitted to predator odour stress exposure. Immediately after this, both SwiChR and EYPF groups received a 1 h long, photoinhibition of PVT/CR+ neurons in the home cage. Bottom: Representative confocal images showing EYFP and SwiChR expression in CR-positive (CR+) PVT neurons. Magenta represents CR immunostaining, while green represents GFP immunostaining, respectively. MD, mediodorsal thalamic nucleus; Hab, habenula; D3V, third ventricle. Scale bars, 250 μm.

A single stressful event can trigger long-term changes in behavior, but what initial neural changes lead to these? This mouse study shows that acute #stress exposure modulates firing activity of PVT/CR+ neurons, which is key for long-term behavioral changes 🧪 @plosbiology.org plos.io/42pgGrE

Latest project. Lots of mortise and tenon work, all by hand.

Competitive exciton and polariton scattering inhibits condensation in two-dimensional metal-halide-semiconductor microcavities Polariton condensation relies on the macroscopic occupation of the lowest-energy polariton state beyond a critical density. The mechanisms driving the occupation and depopulation of this state all rel...

This is not a new upload but a recent one from our group in collaboration with @stingelin.bsky.social, @ebitnet.bsky.social, @jpcorreabaena.bsky.social. How do many-body dynamics inhibit formation of polariton condensates? #silvascience #InstitutCourtois #GeorgiaTechMSE #UH
