Regular seminar is canceled, so that we can attend a lecture by Dr. Alexei Bodrov, director of St. Michael's Biblical College in Moscow. Dr. Bodrov is trained as a physicist and taught physics for several years before switching to full-time Christian ministry. LIOB is accompanied by an expansion and cooling of the plasma generated during LIOB, the generation and propagation of a shock wave front, and in liquids, the formation, expansion and collapse of a cavitation bubble. Collectively known as photodisruption, these processes can be used for microsurgery. LIOB threshold energy decreases with pulse width, allowing femtosecond pulse photodisruption in tissues with microJoule energies.
Microsurgical procedures requiring great precision are then possible.
Come see for yourself. After refreshments, we'll move to S138 so everyone can sit at a computer. In this talk, we will examine how to measure the magnetic fields of neutron stars. We will look into the anatomy of a gamma-ray pulsar and examine the mechanisms for producing high energy radiation and focus on the predictions of QED as the magnetic field strength exceeds the quantum critical field.
