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. |
NewsGov. Dayton signs bonding bill which includes full funding for Tate Lab Remodel
Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton signed a bonding bill that includes funding to renovate, furnish, and equip the Tate Laboratory of Physics building on the Minneapolis campus. Tate Lab renovation was a top priority for the Governor, the House and the Senate bonding requests. The project is now in the schematic design phase. More » Geller to deliver Van Vleck Lecture
