String theorists Neil Turok of Cambridge University and Paul Steinhardt, Albert Einstein Professor in Science and Director of the Center for Theoretical Science at Princeton believe that the cosmos we see as the result of a Big Bang was actually created by the cyclical trillion-year collision of two universes (which they define as three-dimensional branes plus time) that were attracted toward e...

Deception can be a useful tool in defending computer systems against cyberattacks because it is unexpected and offers much variety of tactics. It is particularly useful for sites of critical infrastructure for which multiple defenses are desirable. We have developed an experimental approach to finding deceptive tactics for system defense by trying a variety of tactics against live Internet traf...

The two-channel Anderson impurity model serves as a prototype for describing heavy-fermion materials with a possible mixed-valent regime with both quadrupolar and magnetic character. We report on the low-energy physics of the model, using a conformal field theory approach with exact Bethe Ansatz results as input.
