Greg Pawloski is an expert on antimatter. As such he works on one of the great unsolved mysteries of physics: what is the cause of the great asymmetry in matter and antimatter? Physicists have long theorized that there are antiparticles for every particle in the Universe and that these annihilate one another in pairs. Yet, if there were an equal number of anti-matter particles, there would be no matter in the Universe. |
NewsConstruction begins on Physics and Nanotechnology Building
Construction has begun on the new Physics and Nanotechnology building and is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2013. The $83 million facility will house 125 new offices and 40 new state-of-the-art laboratories. It will feature a 5,000 square foot clean room and a "high bay" for assembling large experimental equipment. The site is located at the corner of Beacon and Union Streets, just north of the Scholar's Walk. More » Hanany made APS Fellow
School of Physics and Astronomy Professor Shaul Hanany was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society "for developing novel techniques for, and making important measurements of, the anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background radiation and its polarization, particularly on balloon borne instruments."

School of Physics and Astronomy Professor Keith Olive was interviewed by popular science author, Gary Taubes. Taubes discusses some of Olive's research on Supersymmetry and the impetus behind some of his most heavily cited papers. More » Physics Force at the Convention Center
The Physics Force will perform a series of shows at the Minneapolis Convention Center between February 6-10, 2012. These shows are free and open to K-12 students and home school groups. There is a free public show in the evening of February 9th. RSVP is required. More » Kamenev writes book on non-equilibrium field theory
School of Physics and Astronomy Professor Alexander Kamenev has a written a book called "The Field Theory of Non-equilibrium Systems" which has been published by Cambridge University Press. The book is intended to be a reference for advanced graduate students and researchers in condensed matter physics. More » |
