SUMMARY:Physics Colloquium - Dr. Chris Williams
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Chris Williams\, Brigham & Women’s Hospital \nMRI-Guided Adaptive Radiation Therapy: Improving Precision in Cancer Therapy \nRadiation therapy treatments have traditionally used x-ray imaging to ensure that a patient is accurately positioned before treating them with a beam of ionizing radiation.  In the past several years\, new treatment machines have been developed that combine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems with linear accelerators\, enabling MRI-guidance before and during treatment delivery.  These devices have the potential to improve our ability to visualize and treat soft-tissue tumors as well as to compensate for motion and changes in a patient’s anatomy.   \nThis talk will discuss the technical aspects and clinical rationale of these machines as well as early results and the role of medical physicists in implementing an MRI-guided radiotherapy program. \nEvent flyer available here

SUMMARY:Physics Colloquium - Kristy McQuinn
DESCRIPTION:Kristy McQuinn\, Rutgers University \nThe Baryon Cycle in the Smallest of Star-Forming Galaxies \nOur view of galaxy evolution has expanded to include not just the evolution of individual galaxy components (gas\, stars\, chemical elements)\, but the cyclical interplay of a galaxy with its surroundings. Frequently termed the ‘baryon cycle’\, the galaxy evolution framework now includes: how gas is accreted onto galaxies\, turned in stars\, ejected out of galaxies via energetic feedback processes\, and potentially re-accreted. The impact of the baryon cycle is amplified in the shallow potential wells of the smallest of star-forming galaxies. This is born out in cosmological simulations of the universe where low mass galaxies act as boundary conditions to structure formation and provide stringent tests of baryon and dark matter physics.  \nIn this talk\, I will present observational results on the baryon cycle in low mass galaxies and discuss where we find (dis)agreement between real galaxies and predictions from state-of-art cosmological simulations. \nEvent flyer available here

SUMMARY:Physics Colloquium - Peter M. Hoffmann
DESCRIPTION:Peter M. Hoffmann Wayne State University \nThe Physics of Life: Molecular Machines \nLiving beings are based on nanoscale machinery. This is no accident: the nanoscale is the only length scale at which autonomous\, self-constructing machinery is possible. Only at this scale do thermal\, electrical\, chemical and mechanical energy scales converge. Moreover\, this scale is dominated by thermal chaos. These unique circumstances give nanoscale systems the ability to easily transform different types of energy into each other and to self-assemble into ordered structures. Although living cells have taken advantage of the physics of the nanoscale for billions of years\, technology is just beginning to exploit the very different rules governing this scale. \nIn this talk\, I will give examples from the mechanical behavior of nanoconfined liquids and the mechanics of single molecules\, but the talk will focus on the story of molecular machines\, which connect physics to biology and illustrate how life is a game played at the nanoscale. At this tiny scale\, thermal noise meets molecular structure and chaos becomes order. \nEvent flyer available here
