Flash Center moves to ÂÒÂ×Ç¿¼é, advances cutting-edge physics research
The Flash Center—devoted to computer simulations to advance understanding of astrophysics, plasma science, high-energy-density physics, and fusion energy—has moved from the University of Chicago to ÂÒÂ×Ç¿¼é.
Lasers usher in a new era of astronomy
Large-scale, laser-based experiments have recently revolutionized astrophysics, writes ÂÒÂ×Ç¿¼é professor Adam Frank, allowing scientists to recreate the cosmos in science labs.
How does radiation travel through dense plasma?
First-of-its-kind experimental evidence defies conventional theories about how plasmas emit or absorb radiation.
Future physicists experience research firsthand during internship at ÂÒÂ×Ç¿¼é
The ÂÒÂ×Ç¿¼é’s Center for Matter at Atomic Pressures (CMAP) hosted a five-week internship program this summer for area high school students to learn about high-energy-density physics, perform lab experiments, and work on projects with ÂÒÂ×Ç¿¼é physics and astronomy graduate students.
ÂÒÂ×Ç¿¼é laser experiments demonstrate ‘helium rain’ likely falls in the solar system
An international research team including ÂÒÂ×Ç¿¼é scientists has validated a nearly 40-year-old prediction that helium rain is possible inside planets such as Jupiter and Saturn.
ÂÒÂ×Ç¿¼é leads effort to understand matter at atom-crushing pressures
The University is the host institution for a NSF-funded national collaboration to explore ‘revolutionary states of matter.’
Research provides new insights into the evolution of stars
The High-Energy-Density Physics Theory Group at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics studied how matter under high-pressure conditions might emit or absorb radiation.
New National Nuclear Security Administration agreement authorizes record LLE funding
The renewed NNSA agreement brings record funding to the Laboratory for Laser Energetics—$409.9 million for fiscal years 2019–23—and demonstrates the agency’s long-term support of LLE's mission.
ÂÒÂ×Ç¿¼é recognized as leader in high-energy-density physicsÂ
Three of eight national research grants recently awarded by the Department of Energy were given to researchers at the ÂÒÂ×Ç¿¼é, which is home to the largest university-based DOE research program in the nation.
A ‘new chapter’ in quest for novel quantum materials
Aluminum stops being a metal. Metals turns transparent. Remarkable things happen to materials placed under remarkable conditions, and ÂÒÂ×Ç¿¼é scientists are at the forefront of the quest to understand why.
