SUMMARY:Department of Physics and Astronomy Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Professor Laura Lewis from Northeastern University. \nIt is almost impossible to avoid headlines concerning critical minerals and their supply\, sourcing and geopolitical impact that touches every continent of our planet. While considered to be critical\, the rare earth elements\, also known as the Lanthanides\, are a family of medium-weight elements distinguished by lower-energy 4f electrons that are located within\, and thus shielded by\, electrons resident in higher-energy 5d shells. This unique electronic character confers important properties to materials containing rare earths\, with applications that include strong magnets necessary for energy generation and transformation. However\, the electronic structure of the rare earth elements also furnishes considerable challenges in their sourcing\, separation and purification. This presentation introduces the rare earth elements\, their role in strong magnets\, and how the global research community is addressing their use and conservation.

SUMMARY:Maine Agricultural and Forest Experiment Station Graduate Research Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The symposium will include: \n\nPoster session – We will have a rotating poster session for you to share your research\, make connections\, and consider ideas for collaboration. We welcome posters about your proposed research\, initial results\, or published work. Do not worry about printing as Estabrook 130 has 10 screens where we can display posters virtually. If you already have a printed poster\, please re-use it and we will find a place to hang it. If you have questions about building a poster or want to see what your virtual poster looks like on the big screen please reach out to Tyler (tyler.messerschmidt@maine.edu ) or me (lee.hecker@maine.edu).\nResearch photo contest – submit up to two photos of your research in progress. Photos will be voted on and prizes awarded at the symposium.\nHelp us build a MAFES research map. Add pins for your field sites and help us capture the geographical breadth of MAFES research.\nInformation from the UMaine Graduate School.\nAmple opportunities to network with your colleagues.\nSocial hour after the symposium (location TBD).\n\nRegister Online

SUMMARY:Time
DESCRIPTION:On a cosmic scale\, time ceases to be a single\, universal measure. TIME is an immersive journey through the nature of time – from daily rhythms of nature to its role in the structure of the Universe. It follows humanity’s attempts to measure time and explores modern physics\, where relativity\, entropy\, and spacetime challenge our intuitive understanding of the present. In the end\, the film turns to human perception\, inviting viewers to reflect on how we choose to spend our time.\n\n\nTickets for planetarium programs are $9 for Adults\, $8 for UMaine Students/Veterans/Senior Citizens\, and $7 for children under 12. Click here to view our calendar. \nTickets may be purchased online\, by phone at 207.581.1341\, or at our ticket box office prior to the show.
