Scientists from TRIUMF and the Wightman Institute for Theoretical Studies have confirmed the "Fujiwara Effect." This breakthrough will undoubtedly impact the face of physics.
Research on alpha emitters is still in its infancy, primarily due to their limited availability. Jason Crawford, a Ph.D. student at the University of Victoria, wants to see that change using infrastructure at TRIUMF.
As part of his first trip to our lab, Canadian astronaut Col. Chris Hadfield kindly indulged us in answering a few questions before meeting with laboratory staff and taking a tour of our facilities. Audio clips of the interview and photos from the tour available...
Dr. Michel Gingras has returned to TRIUMF to rejuvenate his research studies in condensed matter. With a cold look at spin ice, Michel explains frustrated magnetism...
The Alan Astbury Memorial Symposium will be held at the University of Victoria on April 27-28. Topics include high-energy physics and the production of isotopes for nuclear physics and medicine.
Internationally recognized expert on medical isotopes, TRIUMF's Dr. Tom Ruth is appointed Vice-Chair of a US National Academies of Sciences (NAS) committee.
TRIUMF’s Nuclear Theory Workshop is a four day long
collection of lectures, talks and colloquiums centred around the latest results
from top research institutions and universities around the world.
The legacy of Erich
Vogt was celebrated by his many friends during a scientific symposium last week. Erich exemplified a true renaissance man with a broad education,
unmatched motivation and exemplary people skills.
