I really hope the people who demanded that Cambridge take responsibility for hiring Arday are even more outraged about Cornell. Yet somehow, I don’t see the same outrage in my feed.

An extremely instructive development in the use of AI in theoretical physics just emerged from the University of Chicago, thanks to Dam Son-- everybody and anybody seriously interested in theoretical physics should read this and ponder its implications

Sometimes the surface has a life of its own!
In UAsS, STM/STS reveals an emergent strongly correlated Kondo state at the surface, coexisting with a very different FM bulk.
Great collaboration with @Gvanyim and colleagues.

UAsS: we uncover a spontaneous spatial separation of quantum phases within a single material. A topological FM metallic bulk coexists with an emergent strongly correlated Kondo state at the surface, by ARPES and @m_ugeda STM. @USherbrooke @DIPCehu

Why a Mott insulator can conduct electricity along its edges? This contradiction has puzzled physicists for decades, our work offers a detailed explanation :-)

Our afternoon session starts with Prof. Alexander Altland introducing disorder in topological matter #TMS26

#TMS26 has kicked off! A celebration of the 2016 Nobel prize, featuring the medal and a medalist! #DuncanHaldane
🎉DIPC's Topological Matter School celebrates 10 years training the next generation of quantum materials experts!
A highlight was the opening talk by Duncan Haldane, one of the 2016 Nobel laureates for his discoveries on the topological phases of matter

Our latest work reveals that NiS₂ hosts robust edge states that explain its mysterious conducting surface. We uncover a new magnetic ground state and identify obstructed topology as the origin of these states. @USherbrooke @IQ_USherbrooke @DIPCehu

Or increase funding?
Announced by the ERC today (really bad news for science!!! It starts in Europe but will affect everybody) Because the REVIEWING LOAD is so bad, if your application fails you may need to wait mulitple years (>3?!?) until you can submit again!
The ERC is the lifeline of the leading labs in Europe, so many research programs will be terminated (just no other sources to compensate).
The letter from the ERC says “the only way is to reduce applications” (highlighted in the picture below) No!!!
It's the wrong direction. Use AI to assist review. It’s not perfect (yet), but it allows more proposals to be evaluated, and it could support, not replace, human reviewers.
Mi prima es una crack y yo aquí, orgullosísima ❤️
