PUMPKINS IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE. IT’S AN EXPERIMENT THAT’S DRAWN HALLOWEEN AND PHYSICS FANS ALIKE TO THE CAMPUS. CALEB CALIFANO WAS THERE TO WITNESS THE PROJECT THAT REQUIRED QUITE A CLEANUP AFTER.

AMES, Iowa – Soeren Prell reached for the bookshelf behind his desk and pulled down a binder thick and heavy with 900 pages documenting the lives and discoveries of two major physics experiments. That ...

There are precision measurements, and then there’s the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. In each of LIGO’s twin gravitational wave detectors (one in Hanford, Washington, and the ...

When the legends of physics such as Galileo, Newton and Faraday were driving forward our knowledge of the Universe, they did so with simple tabletop equipment, working in small basement laboratories.

The Pauli exclusion principle is a cornerstone of the Standard Model of particle physics and is essential for the structure and stability of matter. Now an international collaboration of physicists ...
