Experimental observation of optical Weyl points and Fermi arc-like surface states by Chong, Yi Dong, Chen, Kevin P., Rechtsman, Mikael C., Noh, Jiho, Huang, Sheng, Leykam, Daniel

“…We use a 3D structure consisting of laser-written waveguides, and show the presence of type-II Weyl points by observing conical diffraction along one axis when the frequency is tuned to the Weyl point; and observing the associated Fermi arc-like surface states. The realization of Weyl points at optical frequencies allows these novel electromagnetic modes to be further explored in the context of linear, nonlinear, and quantum optics.…”

Investigation of graphite nano-particles obtained via different cleaving methods by Tan, Siew Hwee.

“…From the experimental runs done for this project, it is observed that even within a single machining operation, chips with different characteristics, like surface properties and sizes, can be observed. However on the whole for the sizes of chips obtained, based on the average calculated, it can be observed that chips produced via abrasive disc cutting is smaller than via micro milling.…”

Some reflections on mysticism by Evans-Pritchard, EE

“…Evans-Pritchard’s ‘inner life’ and his profound and wide-ranging interest in mysticism, the lecture presents common threads across Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Jain and Buddhist mystics, poets and writers, in addition to many of the classics of mystical literature in Britain at the time. A new introduction situates Evans-Pritchard’s lecture within the context of his Catholic faith and contemporary Catholic theology at large, and argues that it should be read as part of the longstanding relationship and ongoing dialogue between anthropology and theology.…”
