    • Transient Grating Spectroscopy: Compact System Geometry Developments and Improved Software 

      Rajagopal, Jonas A. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-05)
      Transient grating spectroscopy (TGS) is a rapid, non-destructive technique for measuring the thermal, elastic, and acoustic properties of the top several microns of a reflective surface. It has uses across many areas of ...

    • Oceans, like highways 

      Kang, Emily (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-05)
      This coming-of-age screenplay of loss, forced confrontation of one’s past, and self-discovery tracks a young female protagonist who runs away from a life in her family’s touring circus. Her story begins in a vivid, unorthodox ...

    • Modeling Mesoscale Eddies: the Effects of Resolution onOcean Turbulence 

      Brock, Lucy (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-05)
      We describe a non-adiabatic idealized model for studying mesoscale turbulence in the global ocean. Using the ocean model Oceananigans, we perform a grid refinement study to determine the minimal resolution required to ...
