Glass, electronics, engineering, and machine shops support everything from scientific research to art installations.

University of Iowa students took an ambitious art-and-science course into the field in Iceland, where high-altitude balloon launches tested their technical skills, creative instincts, and ability to work across disciplines in unpredictable conditions.

A CLAS-led research team in a new study has reported the most detailed observations to date of the bow shock at Jupiter, our solar system's gas giant.

Work underway inside the University of Iowa Spaceflight Laboratory will eventually become part of one of the world’s largest particle physics experiments.

Professor Yasar Onel has received a research award from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for his project, "Development of Secondary Emission Calorimetry." The award will support the development of a first-of-its-kind secondary emission calorimeter that combines ultra-fast timing, high precision, and exceptional radiation resistance for applications in particle physics and advanced medical imaging.

Professor Mary Hall Reno has been awarded a NASA APRA grant for the project "Continued Development of nuSpaceSim: Modeling of the Extensive Air Shower Signals from Cosmic Neutrinos for Suborbital and Space-based Experiments." Working with collaborators at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Colorado School of Mines, the University of Utah, Penn State University, and Columbia University, the project will enhance key software tools for modeling cosmic neutrino interactions, improve simulation capabilities, and develop new methods for evaluating the sensitivity of future neutrino observatories.

A research team co-led by the University of Iowa has developed a new approach that uses ultra-tiny diamond sensors to detect temperature changes in cells, which could lead to better diagnosis of diseases such as cancer.

The IT staff members supporting the TRACERS mission, which is the largest grant in University of Iowa history, received an IT Leadership Award.

Please join us in congratulating Tom Folland on his promotion to Associate Professor with tenure in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. This well-deserved achievement recognizes his contributions to our department and the university.

Professor Yannick Meurice has received a U.S. Department of Energy award for "Quantum Computing in Lattice Field Theory for High Energy Physics." This project seeks to develop innovative quantum computing methods to study fundamental problems in in high energy physics that are beyond the reach of classical computers, including the simulation of strongly interacting particles and real-time particle collisions.
