The poet Tony Macus will address how meaning and wonder can be embedded in writing by investigating the strangeness of things in combination that aren’t “meant to” go together. Different forms and images, different artistic mediums, stitched together swatches of conversation all can filter into a regular writing practice that’s driven by and filled with […]
Markus B. Raschke CU Boulder, JILA Abstract: Understanding and ultimately controlling the properties of matter, from molecular to quantum systems, requires imaging the elementary excitations on their natural time and length scales. To achieve this goal, we developed scanning probe microscopy with ultrafast and shaped laser pulse excitation for multiscale spatio-temporal optical nano-imaging. In corresponding ultrafast movies, […]
