Ohio University provides a rare opportunity for undergraduate, graduate and Ph.D. students to work hands-on with a particle accelerator — the only one at a university in Ohio. OU’s Department of ...

Neutrino lasers: It’s an idea that many physicists didn’t see coming. At first glance, physics suggests that it would be impossible to make a laser of neutrinos, famously elusive subatomic particles.

Everything we see around us, from the ground beneath our feet to the most remote galaxies, is made of matter. For scientists, that has long posed a problem: According to physicists’ best current ...
