How many theoretical physicists does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Two, one to hold the bulb and one to rotate the universe.

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.

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.

NASA Vesta Trek

This is very cool! The tool allows you to explore the asteroid Vesta through a 2D map or a 3D globe. You can zoom in & out, rotate, and add layers showing topography, mineral analysis, etc.

NASA Vesta Trek Vesta Trek is a NASA web-based portal for exploration of Vesta, one of the largest asteroids in the Solar System.This portal showcases data collected by NASA Dawn spacecraft which was launched in 2009 to study Vesta and the dwarf planet Ceres.

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...
