- What is dark energy and the new cosmology?
- And the latest on baryons, gluons, muons, kaons and other subatomic particles from the early universe.
The world’s high energy physics leaders meet in Melbourne in July to unveil the latest results in particle physics. [continue reading…]
L’Oréal Australia Girls in Science forum
On Wednesday 24 August the three L’Oréal Fellows visited the Australian Synchrotron for the L’Oréal Australia Girls in Science school forums.
The three fellows presented their research to over 160 high achieving female students in year’s 9-12.
The students then had the opportunity to ask the fellows questions about their day to day life, how they got to where they are now and their research.
