While most everyday observations of nature reflect its ever changing state, the subset of processes that physicists understand best are those in which the system studied is in equilibrium. Jorge Vinals is a theoretical physicist whose research focuses on systems that are out of equilibrium. |
NewsSchool celebrates opening of Physics and Nanotechnology Building
School faculty, students and staff celebrated the opening of the Physics and Nanotechnology building on November 13, with a reception in the new building. Installation of furniture, whiteboards, etc. and customer training on various building systems will continue through December. More » School students, staff and faculty featured in NOvA documentary
Students, staff and faculty from the School are featured in a video, Building a Next Generation Neutrino Experiment about the science and construction of the NOvA experiment. The video was produced by Fermilab. Jones named APS Fellow
School of Physics and Astronomy Professor Thomas W. Jones was named as a Fellow of the APS for "For fundamental contributions to our understanding of thermal and non-thermal radiation from extragalactic sources, and the morphology and physics of radio sources." Jones was nominated in the Astrophysics division. A Particle Accelerator in the Radiation Belts
APS journals have highlighted the research of John Wygant and his collaborators in an article "A Particle Accelerator in the Radiation Belts" which deals with his work on the storm belt probe of the Van Allen radiation belts. Tate Lab Renovation Capital Request Approved by Regents
University of Minnesota Regents approved the University's capital request which would fund the proposed Tate Laboratory Renovations. The Tate Lab renovation is projected to cost $85 million total, with two-thirds requested from the state. More » |
