Prof. Robert Svoboda contributed to Nobel-winning neutrino experiments

Come learn about the exciting new research program in the Physics and Mathematics departments, aimed at understanding how our Universe works! The reception will be held on Thursday, October 29 from 5pm to 7:30pm in the Physics Department Atrium.

An exotic, swirling object with the sci-fi name of a “magnetic skyrmion” could be the future of nanoelectronics and memory storage. Physicists at UC Davis and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have now succeeded in making magnetic skyrmions, formerly found at temperatures close to absolute zero, at room temperature.

The Julius Edgar Lilienfeld Prize recognizes a most outstanding contribution to physics. The prize consists of $10,000, a certificate citing the contributions made by the recipient, plus expenses for the three lectures by the recipient given at an APS meeting, a research university, and a predominantly undergraduate institution.

Lloyd Knox hunts for answers about the universe’s creation. The cosmologist has boosted the search for particles called neutrinos that are key to research
