Learn about "Dynamical Dark Matter", a non-traditional approach to dark-matter physics developed by Physics Professor Keith Dienes and former UA postdoc Brooks Thomas, currently at Lafayette College. Additional contributions from Physics Professor Shufang Su are also featured. View the full article on http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/next/physics/dynamical-dark-matter/
In the May 25, 2018 issue of the journal, Science, UA Physics Department scientists Warren Beck and Li Cheng, and former student Lara White, authored an article discussing their work on orbital forcing of Asian monsoon dynamics. They and their Chinese colleagues in Xi'an China developed a new paleoclimate proxy which they use to reconstruct Asian monsoon rainfall variations over the last 550,000 years.
Twenty-seven prospective graduate students visited the UA Physics Department this March 29th and 30th. Over these two days, they met faculty and current physics grad students, found out about research opportunities, and joined us for lab tours, including a tour of the University of Arizona’s world renowned Richard F. Caris Mirror Lab. The evening of March 29, the UA Physics Graduate Program hosted a reception and buffet dinner for the visitors at the ENR2 building rooftop patio.
