The 2018-2019 Jefferson Science Associates Minority/Female Undergraduate Research Assistantship awardee spins opportunities for growth in science and throughout university campus.

The world’s first automated production SRF quality testing facility contributes to the success of large-scale particle accelerators across the U.S. and around the world.

Jefferson Lab's technology stewardship event, Accelerators: Driving Applications for Society was held on December 17. It attracted a diverse audience from universities, companies, government and venture capital to hear the many ways that accelerators, originally developed for research, are now be used to address national and international priorities, including environmental cleanup, advanced materials for industrial applications, medicine and health, alternative energy, and national and homeland security.  

Three early-career nuclear physicists are learning how to speak about their research and prepare for the competitive job market through JSA-sponsored program. For newly minted Ph.D. physicists, entering the job market after spending nearly a decade in college can be a daunting task. The Promising Young Scientist program at Jefferson Lab aims to help early-career nuclear physicists prepare for putting their best foot forward.

The Oct. 24 lunchtime seminar, “Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events,” offered tips on surviving a mass shooting.

Supported by Jefferson Lab staff volunteers, the BEAMS program introduces local fifth and sixth graders to real-world science and technical careers.

The OARtrac® system, built with detector technologies used in nuclear physics, has won kudos for measuring radiation treatments in hard-to-reach areas.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Learn how nuclear physics has been used to diagnose and treat many types of cancer, including breast cancer.

Detector technology with lower radiation dose now licensed by Dilon Technologies NEWPORT NEWS, VA – On Sept. 27, 2018, Dilon Technologies signed a licensing agreement with Jefferson Lab for use of the patent Apparatus and Method for Variable-Angle Slant-Hole Collimator (VASH), a technology with great potential to improve breast cancer detection while lowering the radiation dose to the patient.

In a lab where every detail could be historically relevant, the Jefferson Lab History Archives Program captures the past for future audiences.

This week, almost two dozen children participated in Jefferson Lab's popular Summer Science Camp for Deaf and Hard-Of-Hearing Youth, designed to meet the needs of rising fourth- through eighth-grade students who are deaf or hard-of-hearing. Now in its fifth year, this free week-long camp offers hands-on science activities presented in a barrier-free environment for youth in the deaf and hard-of-hearing community. 

Pressure systems are everywhere, from underground steam pipes throughout a city, to combustion engines in cars and even in most of the equipment at Jefferson Lab.

Spring-actuated dog silhouettes placed strategically around campus successfully deter geese, saving Jefferson Lab time, effort and money.
