70 years later, IU Cyclotron works to save lives

Nuclear physics at Indiana University Bloomington has come a long way. The program was created 70 years ago by A.C.G. Mitchell, hired by former IU President Herman B Wells to initiate basic physics research in 1938. Between 1939 and 1941, faculty members and students worked in Swain Hall to build the program's centerpiece, a 90-ton "cyclotron." The Swain Hall cyclotron is gone, but IU cyclotron research is alive and well.   Full Story >>

Results from Fermilab experiment resolve long-standing neutrino question

Scientists of the MiniBooNE experiment at the Department of Energy's Fermilab announced their first findings Wednesday (April 11). The results resolve questions raised by observations in the 1990s that appeared to contradict findings of other neutrino experiments worldwide. The MiniBooNE research team included five physicists from IU.   Full Story >>
