A Short Course on Shaped Pulses in NMR
Jan/23 Tue 10:30AM–12:00PM
A hands-on introduction to very simple GPU programming in Python
Jan/16 Tue 02:00PM–03:00PM

In this session, we will learn the basics of graphics processing unit (GPU) architecture, and how to exploit these powerful computational tools to accelerate mathematical manipulations of large arrays by orders of magnitude compared to what is possible on CPUs. This exercise will be conducted entirely in python, and will also introduce the audience to using the new A100 GPU nodes on Engaging available to all of MKI. The only prerequisite for the workshop for those who want to follow along with the interactive demo is the ability to ssh into the Engaging cluster, and a text editor for writing code. The level of coding will be simple, such that anyone familiar with numpy and basic matrix algebra (e.g. how to multiply a matrix) will be able to comfortably follow the lesson. By the end of the lesson, we will have implemented the Lomb-Scargle algorithm on a GPU from scratch.

Academic Engagement in Public Policy

An insider's guide to observing with WINTER
Jan/19 Fri 02:30PM–03:30PM

The Wide-field Infrared Transient ExploreR (WINTER) is a recently commissioned infrared time-domain astronomy instrument developed at the MIT Kavli Institute (MKI). In January 2024 WINTER is moving into full-time science survey operating mode, after a 6-month commissioning period dedicated to characterizing and optimizing the performance of the infrared camera and telescope platform.

As the observatory switches to science operations, 15% of WINTER’s observing time is allocated to open proposals within MIT. In this workshop, we will prepare potential interested users of the WINTER telescope to propose for observing time from MIT’s allocated general observing time. This workshop will be led by members of the MKI instrument team, and is targeted at members of the MKI and broader MIT community interested in potentially observing with WINTER or just interested to learn more about this new facility.

In the first half hour of the session, we will describe in detail the capabilities, status, and survey strategy of the WINTER observatory. The second half hour will be dedicated to a detailed walkthrough of the proposal process. Participants who would like to practice submitting a demo proposal should bring their laptops for hands-on Q&A with the WINTER team.

Anatomy of a cyclops — building an all-seeing 'Eye of Sauron' for a giant telescope that peers into the cosmos
Jan/19 Fri 02:00PM–03:00PM

At the MIT Kavli Institute a group of researchers, engineers, technicians, and students are working on a wide variety of astronomical instruments, for both ground- and space-based observatories. Currently our largest project underway is an Integral Field Spectrograph, or IFS, for the 6.5m Magellan telescope located in the Atacama region of Chile. We are creating something like a high-resolution retina, an optical nerve bundle and a processing brain for this giant 6.5m eye fixed on the sky. Comprising 2,400 fibers feeding 24 sensitive digital cameras, it enables astronomers to study not just a few objects in detail with conventional spectrographs, but also detailed observations of anything and everything that falls on this “retina”. Years of prototype development and planning preceded the development and build phase that started in 2018, and scheduled to be completed this spring. Come and visit our labs so we can show you the intricate design and challenges of this very special eye to the universe.

Overview

Starting with a hardwood plank, students will create a beautiful table lamp. All levels of woodworking experience are welcome. Detailed instruction on the safe and effective use of circular saws, jointer, planer and drill press will be a central focus but everyone will also have design input into the lamp they build. The design will include a unique post construction of 3 pieces glued together that create a center hole. Cut from the same piece of wood the perfect color match makes it look like its one piece. Students will need to commit to at least two hours of outside class time in order to finish their project.

Lamp shades are not included in the design

 

Safety Equipment

Jan/16 Tue 02:00PM–03:30PM
Jan/18 Thu 02:00PM–03:30PM
Jan/22 Mon 02:00PM–03:30PM

This four-session IAP workshop series celebrates and explores the uniqueness and diversity of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) voices, experiences, and identities at MIT and beyond. We will use in-class close reading and reflective writing exercises to foster self-reflection, build community, and help one another develop richer and more meaningful personal relationships to our cultural, ethnic, and racial backgrounds. How do our individual narratives reflect and fit into, but also transform and go beyond the narratives of the communities that we belong to? What do we gain from listening deeply to each other’s stories and developing our capacity to attend to, interpret, affiliate ourselves with, and act on those stories? How does this kind of relational work help us arrive at a deeper appreciation, as individuals and as a community, of what it means to be AANHPI?

Email jchou@med.mit.edu to sign up/add your name to the waitlist. This opportunity is limited to 15 self-identified AANHPI students, with priority given to students who can commit to attending all four sessions (please reach out even if you cannot commit to all four). No work is required outside of the workshop series - all you have to do is show up! We will meet in person for all sessions (location TBD), and students who fully participate and complete the workshop series will receive a free copy of Cathy Park Hong’s Minor Feelings or another book germane to the workshop series. 

Sign-up deadline: January 1st, 2024

Fantastic Feathers: Form and Function
Jan/23 Tue 11:00AM–12:00PM

When we think of birds, we think of feathers. Feathers give birds their color, from the bright red of a male Cardinal to the iridescent reds and greens of Ruby-throated Hummingbirds. Feathers keep birds warm and dry: down provides excellent insulation against heat loss and water really does roll off a duck’s back. Feathers form the aerodynamic shape of the wing, enabling flight. A Barn Owl’s flight feathers suppress sound, allowing it to fly nearly silently, while its ruff feathers reflect and focus sound into its ears, enabling the owl to hunt in total darkness by sound alone. This talk describes how the microscopic structure of feathers gives rise to their remarkable properties.

Generating interactive figures and displays for publications and websites
Jan/30 Tue 01:30PM–03:00PM

This is a hands-on activity. Bring your laptop and a dataset of your choice, and leave with one (or more) interactive figures ready to submit with your next ApJ article. 

Astronomers have long used static figures and more recently movies in publications. However, in recent years, more and more journals allow interactive figures as electronic material which allow the reader to zoom, pan, click on objects in the scatter plot for more information, rotate 3D displays etc. This enables the reader to explore, be more engaged, and understand data better - hopefully leading to more citations!

Also, the same animations and interactive figures can be used on your own website, in talks, or to share with collaborators so they can easily zoom into a lightcurve, bin up a spectrum etc. 

With the right plotting packages, making an interactive figure is no more complicated than making a pdf or png; I start off by showing a few examples in Python that I have personally used before (mpld3, bokeh, x3d) and then we'll hack and make figures together. Bring your laptop and a dataset (table, image, catalog, etc.) yjsy you want to visualize and we'll brainstorm if an interactive display is useful and what information it can add for the reader. If you've made a visualization like this before, bring it and teach us how!

A few examples: 

- Optical design of the the Arcus satellite: https://space.mit.edu/home/guenther/ARCUS/3Dview.html

- Chen et al. (click on "start interaction"): https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4357/acb3a6#apjacb3a6f8 - I've made very similar plots with the same plotting package that they used myself, but my paper is still under review, so I don't have a link to share.

- Tully et al. (click on "start interaction"): https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4357/aceaf3#apjaceaf3f13 - This one looks cool!

Sign-up is not required, but recommended (email hgunther@mit.edu) so I can send you installation instructions for packages we might use beforehand.

Glass & Metal Lamp Making Class

IAP Term 2024

Beginners encouraged!

 

Course Instructor: Cat Arase, carase@mit.edu 

Times & Dates: January 15-21, 2024

Session 1: M-F 5-7pm Saturday & Sunday 10am-3pm

Session 2: M-F 7-9pm, Saturday & Sunday 10am-3pm

Prerequisites: None! No experience is required. Beginners are highly encouraged

Credit: This class is not for credit and there will be no grading

To enter the lottery, please fill out this form by end of day 12/20/23: https://forms.gle/kW8RRCpLxpk2wXHp9 

I have found that there are many people who want to make things, but struggle to go from making small trinkets to larger scale projects that look finished, especially when those projects aim to integrate multiple components or processes. I intend to teach Illustrator, the plasma cutter, the spot welder, and glass cutting. Everyone will create their own design and their own lamp using sheet metal and stained glass sheets. The class is free and all materials will be purchased beforehand.

I plan to take 8 students and run two sessions (in the same week). The class will last one week of IAP. Last year a similar class I ran was overenrolled, so you must be able to attend every day of the class. Extra work outside of class hours may be needed for the design portion of the class dependending on design complexity. I will do my best to finalize the class list by 12/22/23 and will send an email to everyone to let them know who is in the class.

How Birds Work: Bills
Jan/25 Thu 11:00AM–12:00PM

Bird use their bills for everything from feeding to grooming to nest building to courtship displays and tool handling. In this talk we'll look at the remarkable array of sizes and shapes of bird bills and then examine in more detail 4 examples: the chisel-like bills of woodpeckers that peck into trees; the bills and tongues of hummingbirds that draw nectar from flowers; sandpiper bills that can detect food beneath sand on a beach without touching it; and phalarope bills that draw water up into their mouths by a ratcheting motion.

How Stars are Born
Jan/18 Thu 12:45PM–01:15PM

This short talk it intended for non-astronomers who are interested in learning how stars form and how astronomical research is actually done in practice.

While our Sun is almost 5 billion years old, stars still form in the the dark clouds of our Milky Way. When we observe those regions we can learn how star and planet formation works, so that we also understand the formation of our own solar system and the Earth better.

I will describe how we observe those regions that are hidden to the naked eye using infrared and X-ray telescopes to obtain stunning images of stellar nurseries. Zooming in on just a few of the young stars, I show how a gas cloud collapses to form a hot gas core that is the birth place of another sun and possibly a few planets. This is the stage of star formation where I concentrate my own research and I will describe how professional astronomers gain access to space telescopes, share my experiences of how to use the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) for my observations of young stars and I will show an example of how we process the observations to extract scientific conclusions. 

Star formation is a very active area of research with many mysteries to solve and certainly one of the areas in astronomy that  delivers extremely beautiful images of the Milky Way that surrounds us.

How to CAD almost anything!
Jan/15 Mon 10:00AM–12:00PM
Jan/17 Wed 10:00AM–12:00PM
Jan/19 Fri 10:00AM–12:00PM
Jan/22 Mon 10:00AM–12:00PM
Jan/24 Wed 10:00AM–12:00PM
Jan/26 Fri 10:00AM–12:00PM
Jan/29 Mon 10:00AM–12:00PM

Ever wondered how are objects from our daily lives designed? How can we generate a computer 3D model of a mug, a bottle of Diet Coke, or a Saturn V rocket? What about designing the blades of a jet-engine? A test dummy? How about making an animation of a LEGO house building itself? Or making a realistic render of a bowl of fruit? In this AeroAstro workshop, you will learn the skills to design all of these, and much more!

Designed for beginners and pro-user alike, this workshop is split into 9 2-hour long sessions, the first half of which will be spent learning new Solidworks skills (a computer-aided design software), the second half of which will see the application of these news skills through in-class activities, with a focus on reverse engineering. In contrast to traditional mechanical design courses, this workshop places greater emphasis on the design process itself, understanding how we can plan and best leverage our available tools to arrive to our desired result. Thus, the sessions are less about following the instructions on an engineering drawing, but about independent thinking and strategizing, reverse engineering an object into a 3D model.

Through the workshop’s 9 sessions, the goal is for the student to:

  • Have learned all the essential Solidworks skills, enough to be able to pass the industry-standard Mechanical Design CSWA exam.
  • Have built a comprehensive design portfolio, in the form of a presentation, to showcase all the different in-class projects and Solidworks skills mastered.
  • Feel that it can take any object and exclaim, “I know how to CAD this!”.

Notes:

  • For more information about the workshop, check out its syllabus, website, or reach out to the instructor.
  • Please fill out the following form to express your interest on the workshop: https://forms.gle/1BA5mVRSMgHsSpdY7
    • As of right now, capacity for both the morning and evening groups are at their limit. If you would like to join the workshop, please email the instructor ASAP.
  • The session on 01/15/24 actually takes place on 01/16/24, due to the MLK federal holiday. Please see the syllabus for more details.

UPDATE:

  • Due to popular demand, the workshop will be split into two cohorts: morning (MWF, 10am-12pm) and afternoon (MWF, 3:30pm-5:30pm). All sessions will still take place in the Rotch library.
  • If you haven't already, please email the instructor with your preference of cohort (morning or afternoon).

IAP 2024: How Might We Redefine Learning in the Age of AI? Join the first-ever tech-enhanced Student Assembly!
Jan/22 Mon 10:00AM–05:00PM
Jan/23 Tue 10:00AM–05:00PM
Jan/24 Wed 10:00AM–05:00PM

Are you interested in deliberating on how generative AI tools such as ChatGPT and DALL-E are changing the way we learn? Are you fascinated by the opportunity to explore how digital tools might weave into civic and political life? Do you want to learn how Citizens' Assemblies work and be part of a Student Assembly here at MIT?

We invite you to be a member of the first-ever Tech-Enhanced Student Assembly, where you will deliberate about the risks and benefits in using Generative AI as part of the learning experience in the classroom. How can these tools be leveraged and steered to help people learn and teach better, rather than hindering intellectual growth? 

Over the course of this assembly, you will work together with your fellow students to learn more about this issue, hear from experts, listen to one another about your own experiences of using generative AI for learning, and develop a set of collective recommendations for your fellow students and your professors. 

It is an opportunity to learn about Citizens' Assemblies by joining one. Citizens’ Assemblies represent an approach increasingly used for public decision making by governments around the world to involve everyday people in policy making, which is demonstrating that another democratic paradigm beyond elections is possible. Together, we will reimagine constructive communication and democratic deliberation about complex issues, and explore how technology can connect Citizens' Assemblies to broader public engagement, and be leveraged to improve their quality and transparency.

 

Who we are

This workshop is co-hosted by the MIT Center for Constructive Communication (CCC) and DemocracyNext. Learn more about Citizens’ Assemblies here.

IAP Non-Credit Class: Atlas — From corpse to cosmic, 1:10 to 1:0000000, 0 to infinite
Jan/08 Mon 10:00AM–01:00PM
Jan/15 Mon 10:00AM–01:00PM
Jan/22 Mon 10:00AM–01:00PM
Jan/29 Mon 10:00AM–01:00PM

This class is about making maps across scales. To the cartographers, maps are never neutral. It gives rise to decision-making that are first and foremost political—to  include, to exclude, to highlight, to hide away—which speaks to  a desired audience that is specific, if not social and cultural. That is to say that making maps is also about mapping space and  time.

Every session, we will explore a specific way of representing maps—the map of bodies, communities, cities, systems, territories, wars, and invisible traces to the globe. Students will be able to learn modes of illustrating and plotting maps, basics of GIS (in this case QGIS, but we could also talk about ArcGIS if desired), workflows between 2D and 3D representation of terrains, urban fabrics, data visualizations through illustrator and rhino, that could later compile into an atlas of drawings.

The class will run 3 hours, with the first 1 to 1.5 hours dedicated to theories and case studies of mapping and the second 1 to 1.5 hours dedicated to specific technical workshops. The  format is also flexible depending on the class size and the  students' desires.

While there is no specific "final output" for this course, it  would be great if everyone know what kinds of atlas/maps/drawings or skills they would expect the course to teach them as  an initial survey.

Note: Course will meet on the Monday, January 15 holiday (virtually).

Prerequisite: Basic knowledge in Illustrator/Rhino

Jan/23 Tue 10:30AM–12:00PM
Jan/25 Thu 10:30AM–12:00PM
Jan/30 Tue 10:30AM–12:00PM

“We shape our tools, and thereafter our tools shape us.” This can also be said of the rules and technologies we construct for human cooperation, which allows for enterprise from the subtly complex (can a single person make a pencil?), to the brashly grandiose (space flight!). In return, our scaled social and political systems shape our behavior for better or worse.

In this IAP activity, we will read works from computer science, sociology, political theory, and sci-fi to explore the mechanisms of large scale cooperative behavior. The structure of the seminar is simple: read, discuss, write. We will also cover applied topics such as social networks, crypto, identity, deliberation, and the nascent philosophy of digital pluralism.

The seminar will be heavy on reading, discussion, and participation (~10 hours / wk including class time). Please commit to attending as many in-person meetings as possible. There will be a remote option generally reserved for non-MIT and remote participants. Note, IAP is intended for MIT students, so we will restrict the number of non-MIT participants.

Instructors: Wes Chow (wesc@media.mit.edu, MIT Center for Constructive Communication), Manon Revel (Harvard Berkman Klein Center)

Non-credit activity, max 15 students in person, unlimited virtual (outside MIT ok)

Jan/23 Tue 02:00PM–05:00PM

Can DALL-E Save Our Main Streets?

In a world where rapid technological changes risk threatening the survival of our main streets, can the ingenuity of generative AI help reimagine these quintessential spaces at the heart of our towns and cities?

Embark on a thought-provoking three-part journey that invites you to delve into the essence of main streets with DALL-E. Through the sharing of personal stories, a visit to a local main street, collaborative brainstorming, and innovative use of DALL-E prompts, we’ll bring to life a digital tapestry of what main streets have been, are, and what they could become.

 

Session 1: Reflecting on the Past (Tuesday, January 9, 2024 - 2 to 4 pm)

Harness DALL-E to awaken the spirit of our collective lived experiences of main streets in vivid digital form. 

Session 2: Observing the Present (Tuesday, January 16, 2024 - 2 to 5 pm)

Immerse yourself with a local visit to a present-day main street and aim to capture its essence through DALL-E prompts.

Session 3: Envisioning the Future (Tuesday, January 23, 2024 - 2 to 4 pm)

Participate in a collective visioning exercise where your ideas and DALL-E’s creativity will merge to design futures of transformed and thriving main streets.

Fueled by coffee and delightful pastries, the culmination of our creative sessions will form part of a unique digital collage to be shared with the MIT community, representing the collective visions of our main streets' past, present, and--most importantly--their future.

 

Limited to 12 participants, register by December 20 to secure your spot. Open to all, with a strong preference for those who can attend and fully engage in the three sessions.

Registration link here: https://forms.gle/7icaG28QJq2jSecj7

Introduction to Data-Centric AI
Jan/16 Tue 12:00PM–01:00PM

Typical machine learning classes teach techniques to produce effective models for a given dataset. In real-world applications, data is messy and improving models is not the only way to get better performance. You can also improve the dataset itself rather than treating it as fixed. Data-Centric AI (DCAI) is an emerging science that studies techniques to improve datasets, which is often the best way to improve performance in practical ML applications. While good data scientists have long practiced this manually via ad hoc trial/error and intuition, DCAI considers the improvement of data as a systematic engineering discipline.

This is the first-ever course on DCAI. This class covers algorithms to find and fix common issues in ML data and to construct better datasets, concentrating on data used in supervised learning tasks like classification. All material taught in this course is highly practical, focused on impactful aspects of real-world ML applications, rather than mathematical details of how particular models work. You can take this course to learn practical techniques not covered in most ML classes, which will help mitigate the “garbage in, garbage out” problem that plagues many real-world ML applications.

LIGO - Listening to black holes
Jan/18 Thu 01:00PM–02:00PM

LIGO consists of two 2.5 miles interferometers (similar to what is used to read bar codes at the supermarket, only bigger) which can detect the signal from merging black holes and neutron stars. After traveling for billions of years these signals reach Earth and move the LIGO mirrors by less then 1/10,000ths of the diameter of a proton. The detection of these signals allows LIGO to test the fundamental laws of physics and probe the history of the universe.

The MIT facility is used to test and prototype the full scale LIGO equipment before they are installed in the observatories.

In choreographed ballroom dance, also called round dancing, you learn a collection of figures that you can dance in varying combinations. A cuer will tell you which figure is next as the dance proceeds, so you can dance choreographed routines that fit the music perfectly, without any need to memorize choreography. The waltz figures and technique you learn in this class will enable you to dance waltz lead/follow (without a cuer) at social dances. This is a social dance; emphasis is on getting out on the floor and having fun, not on perfect technique. As in any form of ballroom dance, there are lead and follow roles. Gender has nothing to do with which role you learn; start with whichever seems like more fun. No partner or prior dance experience needed; we will rotate partners frequently.

See this link for an example of a fun dance we will learn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjD9H5XpIRw

MATLAB for Python Users
Jan/16 Tue 10:00AM–11:30AM

The world is not so simple as to be divided between Pythonists and MATLABers. One of the great challenges in software development is to integrate different technologies or product stacks efficiently, streamlining development and facilitating collaboration between teams. In this sense, MATLAB provides flexible, bi-directional integration with many programming languages, including Python. This allows different teams to collaborate, integrating their developments and taking them to production regardless of their programming language preference.

In this session we will discuss how to work together with Python and MATLAB, being able to interchangeably call algorithms developed in one of the two languages from the other, thus expanding the possibilities when carrying out Data Science projects. The session focuses on and pivots around the different reasons why a Python user would call MATLAB algorithms, showing examples for the following use cases:

Highlights include:

• Calling Python libraries directly from MATLAB

• Calling a live MATLAB session from Python

• Package MATLAB analytics as royalty-free .py libraries


Attendees must bring their own laptops.  Set up information will be shared at the start of the workshop.  MATLAB is not required to be installed.

Not so easy, easy Raja Yoga: Three Algorithms
Jan/12 Fri 05:00PM–06:30PM

Three algorithms from Raja Yoga for Reviving the Self and the World

The purpose of ‘yoga’ based on its origins is self-realization leading to material and spiritual upliftment of humanity. How does one apply that in practical life in a modern-day context, beyond just physical postures? How can one revive the self using resources from within using the Raja Yoga method? How to master the mind? How to not be limited by external labels of gender, nationality, religion etc.? How can one have a more beneficial relationship with nature and environment?

The session will cover three mental algorithms to demonstrate how the practice of “Raja Yoga” is a means of individual empowerment to become an agent of benefit for the world. The process empowers one with tools of self-dignity and an attitude of giving and uplifting, rather than just taking advantage of people, resources, or nature for one’s profit. This naturally leads to inner happiness, wellness  and external benefit.

Come invest in yourself with yoga for the mind!

  • Learn tools to revive the self towards wellness using resources from within

  • Become a more conscious agent of benefit for the world in your own way

Format: Interactive - Time distributed for theory, introspective portions to create insights and meaning for the self to apply in practical life, and q&a.

Roman warships in experiment: Reconstruction and sailing tests
Jan/18 Thu 12:00PM–12:30PM

After the climax of its power, internal struggle weakened the military position of the Roman Empire. A series of attacks in the 2nd and 3rd century AD forced an adjustment of the military strategy in central Europe. Instead of further expansion, the borders of the empire were increasingly fortified. In Germany this led to the construction of an impressive naval fleet on the rivers Rhine and Danube. Several of the boats have been excavated and our team has attempted a detailed reconstruction of two types of vessel, the "navis lusoria" and the "Oberstimm", down to the hand-forged nails and matching metallurgy. A series of three working boats have been built in original size over the last decade. I will show pictures of the reconstruction phase and the on-the-water tests we performed with different teams over the years to assess speed, maneuverability and sailing performance of the boats. The sailing performance far exceeded the expectations indicating a much larger operating radius for these vessels than previously estimated and thus a much higher flexibility of the river defense scheme that the empire relied on to keep the barbarians at bay.

Come join us as we dive into famous video games and try to explain the molecular biology in their narratives! How accurate is the representation of genetics, cell biology and biotechnology in games like The Legend of Zelda, BioShock, The Last of Us, Pokémon, or Final Fantasy? How do these details affect the experience of playing games and getting immersed in their stories? In each session, the class will explore the ways molecular biology is incorporated in the narratives and gameplay of video games and how these choices enhance these stories or would be improved by a more faithful, accurate representation. The class will culminate in students working together to develop new video game narratives that revolve around a concept in molecular biology.

 

This class is open to all audiences, no background in video games or molecular biology necessary!

Searching for planets around distant stars
Jan/24 Wed 04:00PM–05:00PM

TESS, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite is monitoring hundreds of thousands stars, searching for temporary drops in brightness caused by planetary transits. Launched in 2018, this first-ever spaceborne all-sky transit survey has identified over 7000 planet candidates covering a wide range of sizes and orbital parameters. TESS has four identical, highly optimized, red-sensitive, wide-field cameras that together can monitor a 24 degree by 90 degree strip of the sky. By monitoring each strip for 27 days and nights, TESS repeatedly tiles the sky, with each sector allowing a new set of exoplanet parameters to be surveyed. This tour will start with a visit to the science office for a project overview and a look at the techniques used to find planets. It will end with a visit to the instrument laboratory where the cameras are tested and developed.

Structure of astrophysical jets unraveled: Theory and supporting observations
Jan/16 Tue 03:00PM–04:00PM

The theoretical finding of plasma structures propagating away from disks associated with binary systems [1] has led to propose that an important class of the jets observed in astrophysics are the results of the emission of these structures. Double-helix structures were in fact identified, in one case, as a ersult of non-linear interactions of nodes excited in circumbinary disks sustained by pairs of stellar black holes [2]. The other considered case is that of a massive black hole paired with a much lighter ‘sheperd’ black home that is proposed to be relevant to an important class of observed jets.

According to the theory, the emitted plasma structures are associated with the fluctuations generated by the carving of a ‘swept torus’ [2] by the sheperd black hole in the plasma disk sustained by the main black hole. In fact, a following analysis of the observed M87 jet structure had concluded that this was of a double-helix kind [3]. More recent studies of other hets [4,5, & following papers] associated with massive black holes have identified helical or different plasma structures associated with them.

At a recent meeting of the A.P.S renewed laboratory observations involving two relevant facilities were found to be in support of the presented theory: long and lasting double-helix plasma structures have been systematically launched and produced far from chamber walls. A collaboration among major institutions, both in the US and abroad, is planned concerning this general area of research.
