Most of us walk around with a smart phone, but I bet it’s news to many that the tools first built to understand the workings of the nucleus of the atom, the same tools used here at Jefferson Lab, became the tools to ultimately create smart phones (and more). Having my smartphone is great; it helps...
Protons appear to get extra pep in their step when they’re outnumbered by neutrons in the atom’s nucleus.
Members of the media are invited to a poster session highlighting summer intern science projects at Jefferson Lab.
