The standard paradigm for producing dark matter in the early universe is thermal production, which freezes out at a constant abundance when the interaction rate with the Standard Model becomes slower than the Hubble expansion.

The years following the LIGO-Virgo collaboration’s September 14th, 2015 breakthrough detection of gravitational waves have been filled by marked advances in our ability to detect and infer the source parameters of merging binary black hole systems.

Science is a creative human endeavor. It advances with new ideas. For experimentalists, the inspiration can range over all of human technology, sometimes seeming totally unrelated to the problem at hand. I will discuss examples from my career.

Symmetry is a key to unlock exotic phenomena in condensed matter physics. Particularly in magnetic systems, the symmetry analysis enables deep understanding of magnetic ordering and electron transports. In this talk, I will give three examples showing how symmetry analysis can help understand and design magnetic materials of interest. First, I will show the prediction of giant perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) in iron monolayer on top of III-V nitride substrates. The magnitude of PMA is up to 50 meV, in contrast to 1meV in conventional Fe-based thin films.

Magnetic reconnection is a ubiquitous process in the universe involved in the release/conversion of the magnetic energy in the magnetized plasma. It takes place in a large-scale CME/flare current sheet in the major solar eruption, which forms as a result of the loss of equilibrium in the coronal magnetic configuration at the beginning of the eruption. The loss of the equilibrium in the coronal magnetic configuration occurs at the Alfven time-scale of the coronal, so does the current sheet connecting the CME to the associated flare.

A star wandering too close to a massive black hole (BH) can be pulled apart by the black hole's intense tidal force.
