Abstract: Hybrid-pixel detectors have revolutionized electron microscopy by combining direct detection with noise-free readout and single-electron sensitivity. This technology enables ultrafast 4D STEM at 120,000 frames per second and high-resolution EELS, allowing for the visualization of beam-sensitive materials and complex magnetic domains. By integrating high dynamic range with radiation-hard designs, Hybrid-pixel detectors bridge the gap between traditional imaging and advanced diffraction analysis to empower breakthroughs in materials science and structural biology.

Title: The p-elastic flows of inextensible planar closed curves for p ∈ (1, ∞)

Abstract:

Building on the work of Blatt, Hopper, and Vorderobermeier (2022) on the existence of geometric flows for the p-elastic energy with p∈ [2,∞), we investigate how to extend their results to the case p∈(1,2). In this talk, we focus on the class of inextensible planar closed curves. We establish the existence of global weak solutions to the L 2 -gradient flow of the p-elastic energy for all p ∈ (1, ∞). Further directions, including extensions to open curves and applications to variational problems of curves in sub-Riemannian geometry, will also be discussed. The results presented are based on joint work with Ying-Hsian Tsai.
