SUPER KAMIOKANDE

The Super-K experiment is a neutrino detector deep underneath a mountain in central Japan.

QUANTUM OPTICS

A cloud of ultra-cold Li-6 atoms is released from an optical trap. The expanding gas exhibits collective flow properties similar to that of an ideal fluid.

A BANG-UP JOB

Heavy atoms smashing together at extremely high energies recreate conditions not seen since the big bang.

LARGE HADRON COLLIDER

The LHC is the highest energy particle accelerator in the world. Protons travel in a 27 km ring of super-conducting magnets.

GENE NETWORK

A synchronously updating boolean network model is used to study periodic gene expression.

MOLECULAR ELECTRONICS

Modeling the conduction through a single molecule: a nanotube attaches to a organic molecule, a key element of future electronics.

BIRD BRAINS

Using mathematical models to understand the generation of zebra finch song.
