Current Experiments:

1. NMR studies of the properties of solid hydrogen in confined geometries. (Jaha Hamida, Yu Ji)
2. Non--equilibrium behavior and field-induced aging in frustrated molecular solids. (S. Pilla, K. Muttalib, J. Hamida)
3. Quantum tunneling of ³He impurities in solid ⁴He (Sung Su, Chao Huan with Don Candela, Univ. Of Massachussets), and of H in rare earth hydrides.
