GENE NETWORK

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

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.

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.

SUPER KAMIOKANDE

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

BIRD BRAINS

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

MOLECULAR ELECTRONICS

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

ANNOUNCEMENTS  [see all]

Prof. Bass wins NSF CDI Award
Prof. Steffen Bass awarded a Cyber-enabled Discovery and Innovation grant for Advanced Modeling and Data Analysis. This project will bring together scientists from Michigan State, Duke and UNC in Nuclear Physics, Cosmology, Astophysics, Athmospheric Sciences, Statistical Sciences and Computer Science to develop novel statistical analysis and advanced visualization techniques.
