Source: College of Liberal Arts and Sciences News Aculmination of 15 years of data, observed by over 190 scientists from the US and Canada, has resulted in a remarkable discovery: the first evidence for gravitational waves at very low frequencies. UF astrophysicist LAURA BLECHA and graduate student ANALIS EVANS contributed their expertise to the […]
For the last 15 years, the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav) Collaboration has been using radio telescopes to time an array of ultra-precise millisecond pulsars and search for correlated delays caused by low-frequency gravitational waves. Such gravitational waves could be produced by orbiting pairs of supermassive black […]

As a follow-up of FNN winning 1st prize at UF’s AI days pitch competition, the report was filmed during the installation […]
The department is pleased to announce that the UF Physics IDEA (Inclusion Diversity & Equity Alliance) is a winner of the 2023 College of Liberal Arts and Sciences CLAS Excellence in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee Award. This CLAS award recognizes a department Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) committee that has made […]
Image: This illustration depicts a herringbone-like pattern in the atomic lattice of a quantum material created by researchers at SLAC and Stanford. An electronic tug-of-war between its layers has dramatically warped the lattice. Researchers are just staring to explore how this ‘huge’ distortion affects the material’s properties.
