PHYSICS DISPLAY COMMEMORATES EINSTEIN CENTENNIAL

Dr. Jaehoon Yu and physics students Jacob Smith and James Creel, current and former presidents of the Society of Physics Students, invite the public to see the on-going physic displays in honor of the 100th anniversary of Albert Einstein's great year of discovery and the World Year of Physics. The first exhibit is in the large display room by the cafeteria in the E.H. Hereford University Center, 300 W. First St., through Sept. 16. The exhibit contains detectors and physics research equipment from the past and present. These include magnetism at the nano scale in solid state physics, holograms in optics and a cloud chamber and scintillation counters in high energy physics. Physics undergraduate students will be on hand to explain the exhibits. 

 


 


The World Year of Physics 2005 is a United Nations endorsed, international celebration of physics.

Events throughout the year will highlight the vitality of physics and its importance in the coming millennium, and will commemorate the pioneering contributions of Albert Einstein in 1905.
