Welcome to SPACE! @DukeTrinity College of Arts & Sciences' new universitywide SPACE Initiative will accelerate interdisciplinary research and education. Join the kickoff event on Sep 8 and hear a keynote talk by astronaut and Duke alum Anna Menon. duke.is/p/arvy
With its 3,200-megapixel camera, the @VRubinObs will transform our understanding of the cosmos. Duke Cosmologists are behind the scenes, keeping everything in focus: duke.is/p/e4j8
Do you think you’re smarter than a 5th grader about how the Universe works? You might be, if you read professor @EveVavagiakis children's book, “I’m a Photon," which uses rhymes and illustrations to explain scientific concepts. trinity.duke.edu/news/if-you-th…
Congratulations to Divine Kumah @kumahlab, Charles H. Townes Associate Professor of Physics, who was honored with a named professorship in recognition of his leadership and commitment to excellence in scholarship and research. trinity.duke.edu/news/eight-tri…
Congratulations to Professor Berndt Mueller on his election as Honorary member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences! physics.duke.edu/news/trinity-p…
Join us on Monday, May 19 for a research symposium celebrating the late Professor Tom Mehen's career, collaborations and scientific legacy. More information: physics.duke.edu/events/mehen-m…
“This is the first truly three-dimensional, stereotaxic atlas of the mouse brain,” - G. Allan Johnson, PhD, Charles E. Putman University Distinguished Professor of Radiology @DukeRadiology, and professor @DukePhysics & the Dept of Biomedical Engineering. medschool.duke.edu/news/duke-mous…
“The hype in the field is just insane right now, but there’s something behind it, I’m convinced. Maybe not today, but I think in the long run, we’re going to see these things.” Professor Chris Monroe weighs in on new quantum results for @sciam. scientificamerican.com/article/quantu…
Did you know❓ The Fritz London Memorial Prize commemorates #FritzLondon, a distinguished @DukePhysics member known for his pioneering contributions to theoretical chemistry, physics, and the philosophy of science? Discover more here: lnkd.in/dN4pK3iA #LT30 #LT302025
The most recent grad student thesis copy arrived. They are getting thicker, I think. 3 generations of thesis as well. @DukeU @DukePhysics @dukeresearch @scholberg @COHERENT_NUS
The Fritz London Memorial Prize Selection Committee is proud to announce this year's awardees: Congratulations to John Saunders, Robert Hallock & Ali Yazdani for their groundbreaking contributions to low-temperature physics. @lt30conference @IUPAP_physics duke.is/9/74nq
Can AI crack the mysteries of nuclear collisions? @DukeU physicist @steffen_bass & Simon Mak @StatSciDuke are using machine learning to reconstruct ultra-fast nuclear interactions — solving problems once thought impossible. duke.is/y/ywtb
Join us for the colloquium next Monday from 4-5pm in Riddick 325!! Dr. Daniel Scolnic (@DScol) from Duke University (@DukePhysics) will discuss "The Lingering Hubble Tension and New Puzzling Measurements of Dark Energy"! | More info: physics.sciences.ncsu.edu/event/physics-…
The Universe is expanding—fast. Maybe too fast. A new measurement from @DScol's team confirms past, hotly debated results: the Universe’s expansion rate doesn’t match our predictions. Could this escalate the Hubble tension into a full-blown crisis? physics.duke.edu/news/dan-scoln…

“It’s actually a very daring thing to even go after it,” @KateScholberg weighs in on the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory's goal of not simply detecting, but ranking neutrinos. @AP apnews.com/article/jiangm…
👋 Say hi to our new lead editor. Patrick Charbonneau is a professor at @DukeChemistry and @DukePhysics. His research in soft matter and statistical physics combines theory and simulation to understand the glass problem and microphase formation. He’s also an @APSphysics Fellow.
"By stacking together images of a piece of sky taken over multiple nights, the telescope will be able to spot fainter and fainter objects" - yup, and I am thrilled to be leading that effort!
