Public Lecture by Nobel Laureate: Looking for Fossils of the Big Bang

By Faizan

In this next edition of LIVE@Frost Science on Wednesday, October 26, physicist and Nobel Laureate Dr. Eric A. Cornell will present Looking for Fossils of the Big Bang in the Laboratory. Dr. Cornell shared in the 2001 Nobel Prize in Physics for synthesizing the first Bose-Einstein condensate. In his presentation, Dr. Cornell will concentrate on the work being done in the laboratory and how we can use precise measurements to look for fossils of the Big Bang.

‘A Better, More Equitable Future’: Program Advances Diversity and Materials Science

J. Edward Anthony Office of the Vice President for Research and Innovation.

During the past year, students and faculty at Cornell and N.C. A&T have been partnering on a research project built around two shared goals: increasing diversity in the field of materials science and transforming the way the world generates and stores energy.https://news.cornell.edu/stories/2022/09/better-more-equitable-future-program-advances-diversity-and-materials-science

Going the Distance

Shannon Koehle

While walking around campus it’s easy to forget that behind closed doors students and faculty are engaged in potentially life-altering experiments, but that’s exactly what’s occurring in the Hall of Science building at CSULB, thanks in part to the National Science Foundation's Partnership for Research and Education in Materials (PREM) grant.
