Lecture | NYSkies Seminar: New Atoms in an Old World


This seminar is driven by the recent news of two new chemical elements confirmed from nuclear labs. We welcome elements #114 and #116 to the ranks of the periodic table. The explanation of the discovery prompted side dialog among us about nuclear reactions and formation of elements. There are no more natively occurring elements to be found. We captured the last one by the mid-20th century. Today 'discovery' means 'creation,' being able to synthesize the new nucleus in a nuclear laboratory. We'll see how nuclei and its components behave and how they can be assembled in different ways.

Concert | Rock Music: Lower Dens / Dirty Beaches


Baltimore's Lower Dens made a splash last year with their atmospheric debut Twin Hand Movements, at the center of which is singer-songwriter Jana Hunter's haunting voice. Fuzzy, droney and warm, Lower Dens exude that magic hour vibe. Keeping with the theme, twangy openers Dirty Beaches are like a half-remembered dream infected by an oldies station drifting on the breeze at a desert motel.
