This beautiful short film by Daihei Shibata “expresses how things change from A to B when a parameter exceeds a certain value” (artist’s own description; now my favorite definition for condensed matter physics). Watching it (just 2 minutes) has helped me more directly understand exactly why I am driven to experiment in the laboratory. [.gif …
Taylor Kubota of Stanford News spoke with us and worked hard and brilliantly to write a very illuminating and thorough news article and press release about our experiment that studied the miniband conduction in a graphene moire superlattice: Stanford researchers bring theorized mechanism of conduction to life Her article was featured on the Stanford Report …

A report that covers some of the most exciting parts of my Ph.D. research is now out on print. We studied the ballistic transport behavior, in particular transverse electron focusing, of quasiparticles occupying the minibands of the moire superlattice formed by graphene and hexagonal boron nitride. http://science.sciencemag.org/content/353/6307/1526.abstract My own copy (the final & accepted text …
