My dad, even in his 90s, had the mind of a steel trap. He remembered just about everything, and I am thankful for all the stories he told about his life.

When materials are subjected to extreme environments, they face the risk of mixing together. This mixing may result in hydrodynamic instabilities, yielding undesirable side effects. Such instabilities present a grand challenge across multiple disciplines, especially in astrophysics, combustion and shaped charges—a device used to focus the energy of a detonating explosive, thereby creating a high velocity jet that is capable of penetrating deep into metal, concrete or other target materials.
Here on Earth, as well as elsewhere throughout the Universe, a tremendous variety of naturally occurring elements can be found. More than 90 species of atoms — from hydrogen up through plutonium — have been detected in various environments, but astrophysically, very few events are capable of creating the heaviest elements of all. Where did these heavy elements, including silver, iodine, tungsten, platinum, gold, mercury, uranium, and more, ultimately come from? For all of the 20th century and...
