After 37 years, Voyager 1 has fired up its trajectory thrusters
It has left the solar system, is 21 billion miles from Earth, has been going for 4 decades and its engines still work. Absolutely amazing!
After 37 years, Voyager 1 has fired up its trajectory thrusters This week, the scientists and engineers on the Voyager team did something very special.

Focus: Dice Become Ordered When Stirred, Not Shaken
What are the odds?
Focus: Dice Become Ordered When Stirred, Not Shaken A jumble of thousands of cubic dice, agitated by an oscillating rotation, can rapidly become completely ordered, a result that is hard to produce with more conventional shaking.

Laptops Are Great. But Not During a Lecture or a Meeting.
Something to think about.
Laptops Are Great. But Not During a Lecture or a Meeting. A growing body of evidence shows that college students generally learn less when they use computers or tablets during lectures. That is probably true in workplace meetings, too.

Multi-Messenger Observations of a Binary Neutron Star Merger
Huge news in astronomy and physics announced today.
Multi-Messenger Observations of a Binary Neutron Star Merger A ripple, a flash, and a bang. The holy grail of multi-messenger astronomy as been discovered — a binary neutron star merger captured in gravitational waves and light!
We are excited to be hosting Physics alumnus Brian Diven on campus tomorrow. At noon in Peelle 214, he will be discussing his experience in graduate school at U of M, where he is completing a master's degree in space engineering. This should be of interest to any students studying physics or who are considering careers in engineering.

An Adrian prime; physicists are all a little math-geeky at heart, right? :)

We had a great turn out for our eclipse party. It was a lot of fun.
Professor Hill represented Adrian College at the 2017 NetSci conference in Indianapolis in June, with the poster "Dynamic Centrality in Random Subnetworks." Here's a link to the poster:http://sahill.nfshost.com/Papers/netsci2017.pdf
New Horizons
New NASA videos based on data and images from the New Horizons spacecraft show what it would be like to fly over Pluto and its 🌙 Charon. Quite spectacular!

Physics at Adrian College updated their phone number.
We are so proud of our graduates Jamie Brandon, Anthony Coleman, Alex Kret, Joe Mable, Frankie Petrie, Maddie Sena, and Conner Stevons. Kudos also to Emily Bristow and Jacob Rinaldi who completed minors in physics. This was our largest class and truly an amazing group of students.

The deconstructed Standard Model equation
Now that is some equation. Yikes!
The deconstructed Standard Model equation The Standard Model is far more than elementary particles arranged in a table.

Pi Is (still) Wrong.
Today is Pi Day, and by all means, eat some pie. But while you're celebrating pi, here is something interesting to think about.

Viewpoint: The First Sounds of Merging Black Holes
Perhaps a more readable article than the paper published in Physical Review Letters.
Viewpoint: The First Sounds of Merging Black Holes Gravitational waves emitted by the merger of two black holes have been detected, setting the course for a new era of observational astrophysics.

Elusive Gravitational Waves Seen Directly for the First Time
Tremendous discovery in the physics and astrophysics communities today. What a phenomenal story!
Elusive Gravitational Waves Seen Directly for the First Time A paper in the APS journal Physical Review Letters reports a detection by LIGO and Virgo collaborations

Physics student Stephanie Boehringer presented a poster, "Tracking the Synthesis Paths of P-Process Nuclei", at the Fall Meeting of the APS Division of Nuclear Physics. The poster is based on her summer REU work, which she is continuing as her senior project.
APS -2013 Fall Meeting of the APS Division of Nuclear Physics - Event - Tracking the Synthesis... The p-process nuclei are proton-rich nuclei heavier than iron are an astrophysical abnormality because of the enigmatic nature of their synthesis. It is possible to trace the production of the p-process nuclei as a path that starts from thirty-five different p-nuclei to their seed nuclei composed of...
