June 16, 2009
Phase change is a phrase used in physics to indicate a change of the state of matter. For example, some materials can be in the solid, liquid or gaseous phases. Water can be ice liquid water, or steam. Chemically, it is essentially the same entity, but looks, feels and behaves quite differently.

Infrastructure Projects
June 3, 2010
What do you think of the TEDF? How about the UIM project? What would have happened if we had not got the ARRA funding for the NP GPP projects last year?
Gobbledegook!? Acronymia? Certainly different from the usual PREx, or QWeak, or DVCS that we hear from the physics side of the house!
