Geometric inequalities for black holes [PDF]
It is well known that the three parameters that characterize the Kerr black hole (mass, angular momentum and horizon area) satisfy several important inequalities. Remarkably, some of these inequalities remain valid also for dynamical black holes.

Invited Article: Topological crystalline protection in a photonic system
Topological crystalline insulators are a class of materials with a bulk energy gap and edge or surface modes, which are protected by crystalline symmetry, at their boundaries. They have been realized in electronic systems: in particular, in SnTe. In this

The vacuum energy crisis [PDF]
The smallness of the vacuum energy density and its near coincidence with the average matter density of the universe are naturally explained by anthropic selection.

Invited Article: Real-time sensing of flowing nanoparticles with electro-opto-mechanics
High-Q optical resonators allow label-free detection of individual nanoparticles through perturbation of optical signatures but have practical limitations due to reliance on random diffusion to deliver particles to the sensing region.
