"I use observations to study the most common type of star in our Galaxy: small, cool stars called M dwarfs. How do these stars' spins and...

On Jan. 4, Professor James LaBelle and team sent a payload of sounding equipment into space on board a NASA rocket as part of an international project to study the formation of high-energy particles just outside the Earth.

Dartmouth '19 Christine Qi attends a four month research internship in particle physics analysis at CERN, the organisation responsible for the groundbreaking discovery of the Higgs Boson in 2012....

The BARREL project (Balloon Array for RBSP Relativistic Electron Losses), part of Professor Robyn Millan and Dartmouth space physics' ongoing research into Earth's radiation belts, has scored another recent victory in their successful 2018 launch from McMurdo Station, Antarctica....

It gets cold outside in the winter, but the coldest spot around is Prof. Wright's lab in the basement of Wilder where an array of lasers trap and cool lithium atoms almost to absolute zero temperature. The Fermi degenerate atom cloud is then used to study superfluidity and other exotic properties of quantum phases of matter....

Congratulation to Professor Lorenza Viola on her appointment as a Divisional Associate Editor for Physical Review Letters.

Professor Rahul Sarpeshkar recently gave a TEDx Talk entitled Analog Supercomputers: From Quantum Atom to Living Body.

Physicists and philosophers from Austria, Canada, Holland, and the United States came together for The Gravity in the Quantum Regime conference to tackle issues at the intersection of quantum theory and gravitational physics. Topics discussed included tensor networks on curved spacetimes, gravitational decoherence, semiclassical gravity, and the role of ‘time’ in a quantum theory of gravity....

Great turn out for the Department of Physics and Astronomy Class of 2018. We had 14 senior honor theses this year. Congratulations to all the seniors.
