- Liquid Metal Dynamos : GEO/Astrophysics in the Lab
- Time: 3:30 pm
- Place: 2241 Chamberlin Hall (coffee at 4:30 pm)
- Speaker: Jean-François Pinton, École normale supérieure de Lyon, CNRS
- Abstract: The dynamo, a conversion of kinetic energy into magnetic energy in planets and stars is a fascinating puzzle, full of surprises. I will review some progress (and many more questions!) after over 15 years of lab experiments using liquid metals.
- Host: Forest
