“You might ask the question, ‘How small can you make a satellite and still do science with it?’ This has been a topic over the last decade or so.” says Professor Robyn Millan in a recent article about cubesat-class and other small satellites. Her full talk was given at the National Academies for the 60th anniversary of the launch of the first U. S. satellite, Explorer I. Find her full remarks at: ...

Title: "Imaging Space Plasmas, and Robotic Exploration of the Solar Systems" (Video)
Abstract: This colloquium takes a virtual tour of the Solar System, mostly as seen by various techniques to image space plasmas. First, I introduce and define some basic concepts (planetary magnetospheres, definition of a plasma) and introduce you to the Earth's dynamically-changing space environment. The tour starts with...

Title: "The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI): Creating a 3D Map of the Universe" (Video)
Abstract: The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) will be installed on the Mayall 4-m telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory in 2018. Using 5,000 robotic fiber positioners and ten 3-arm spectrographs, DESI will measure the spectra of up to 40 million galaxies and quasars enabling us to create a 3D...

Title: "Fabry-Perot Microcavities for Diamond Photonics" (Video)
Abstract: Individual defects in crystalline materials can have electronic properties akin to those of isolated trapped atoms or ions. Like atoms, these defect centers can have spin degrees of freedom and and optical transitions that make them an attractive platform for building quantum information technologies. Their spin states might someday be used to store and manipulate...
