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.
Jefferson Lab is now accepting applications for its 2018-19 science enrichment program for fifth-, sixth- and eighth-grade teachers of science. The JSAT program is designed to increase teachers' knowledge of the physical sciences and strengthen teaching skills.

The OARtrac® system, built with detector technologies used in nuclear physics, has won kudos for measuring radiation treatments in hard-to-reach areas.
Let’s delve a little deeper into a topic I have mentioned before in a blog post - nuclear medicine. Nuclear medicine can be simply described as that area of healthcare that uses nuclear physics principles to detect and/or treat disease. Cancer is one disease where the power of nuclear medicine has...
