String Theory, Wooly Mammoths on Tap for Saturday Morning Physics
The Saturday Morning Physics Winter 2010 program begins this week!


Mechanical Forces Could Affect Gene Expression
Physicist Jens-Christian Meiners, Research Fellow Joshua Milstein, and Graduate Student Yih-Fan Chen have shown that tension on DNA molecules can affect gene expression—the process at the heart of biological function that tells a cell what to do.


UM Physicists Gordon Kane and Aaron Pierce Helped Organize Physics of the Universe Summit
Scientists gathered in Los Angeles recently to talk about their hopes and dreams for the universe.

Physicist Aaron Leanhardt Named an Outstanding Referee of Physical Review Journal


Porous Compounds Probed with Positrons
Professor David Gidley's research group probes the nano-structure of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) with antimatter. MOFs are transforming research in catalysis with applications in energy (gas storage) and the environment (gas filtration).
