President Bush also allowed other areas of scientific discovery to languish, cutting America’s leadership on a global scale. Pran Nath, a particle physicist at Northeastern University, told LiveScience that America lost its leadership in particle physics under President Bush, “leaving Europe and Japan to assume leadership role in this area.” Pran Nath for Northeastern Global News Northeastern University will honor professor Pran Nath for his contributions to particle physics and cosmology Northeastern University will honor professor Pran Nath for his contributions to particle physics and cosmology People often receive clothing, books, and gift cards for their birthdays. Northeastern professor Pran Nath is getting a two-day conference focused on the latest research into particle physics and cosmology. Stephen Hawking, an independent thinker who ‘didn’t follow conventional rules’ Stephen Hawking, an independent thinker who ‘didn’t follow conventional rules’ Professor Pran Nath twice invited Stephen Hawking to Northeastern to speak at his International Symposium on Particles, Strings, and Cosmology. He reflected on the genius of the world-renowned physicist, who died on Wednesday at the age of 76. 3Qs: Detection of gravitational waves ‘opens a new window to the study of the universe’ 3Qs: Detection of gravitational waves ‘opens a new window to the study of the universe’ On Thursday, a team of scientists announced that they had detected gravitational waves, ripples of energy across space-time sparked by the merging of two black holes. Northeastern physicist Pran Nath discusses the impact of the major breakthrough. Image by NASA 3Qs: Physicists push for underground testing facility 3Qs: Physicists push for underground testing facility Pran Nath, the Matthews Distinguished Professor of Physics at Northeastern University, is among a group of leading theoretical physicists who have asked the Department of Energy to develop a large underground neutrino facility to maintain U.S. leadership in the frontier of particle physics. We asked Nath to explain the facility and its value. Northeastern University Researchers Develop Method to Identify Sparticles in Big Bang Conditions Northeastern University Researchers Develop Method to Identify Sparticles in Big Bang Conditions BOSTON – January 10, 2007 – Three Northeastern University researchers have proposed a new approach for the highly anticipated discovery of supersymmetric particles, often called sparticles. The methodology, which was published in the December 21 issue of the Physical Review Letters, is based on identifying the hierarchical mass patterns of sparticles, which are assumed to […]
