Can more electricity make a magnet stronger? We built an electromagnet using a nail, wire and batteries — then tested how many paperclips it could lift at different voltages. Try it yourself and see how your results compare. youtu.be/m2awrPmvJ8g?si…

Colin Gleason, former Jefferson Lab postdoc and Union College alum, helped share the first GlueX data at APS. Now he’s reflecting on his path into physics, the best advice he ever got, and the one thing he can’t live without. union.edu/news/stories/2…

The powdered wings of a butterfly remind us that symmetry is a common feature in nature, holding true even down to the smallest bits of matter. But not always. Now, one broken symmetry is helping nuclear physicists learn more about the proton. Mississippi State jlab.org/news/releases/…

At -196°C, liquid nitrogen flash-freezes water molecules inside a flower. The structure stays intact, until pressure causes it to shatter. Watch the demo. No CGI. Just physics. youtu.be/Gz3lrLoW0og?si…

Forty years ago this month, Hermann Grunder became Jefferson Lab's first director. Grunder championed the efficient, powerful superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) technology, and our CEBAF accelerator became the world's first large-scale SRF particle accelerator in the world!

It was a big day at our Low Energy Recirculator Facility, we recently swapped out two cryomodules for full-performance testing. Next stop: SLAC and the LCLS-II-HE project, a collab to enhance the capabilities of the world's most powerful X-ray free-electron laser.

What if your particle accelerator could warn you before it shut down? We’re using AI to predict faults, reduce radiation & improve reliability — helping scientists make the most of every second of beamtime. jlab.org/news/releases/…

What holds matter together? We just made a first-of-its-kind measurement revealing how gluons behave inside atomic nuclei. This breakthrough brings us closer to solving a decades-old mystery. bit.ly/43xS7rd

Hands-on learning you can eat? Yes, please. Eric Goff from @NNPS_CarverES uses frosting and graham crackers to bring plate tectonics to life in the classroom. Science has never been so sweet.

Long before the James Webb Space Telescope launched, our cryo team collaborated with NASA to ensure it could withstand the coldest temperatures of space. That prep paid off. Webb is now sending back images like this and reshaping how we see the universe. go.nasa.gov/4jtAxL2

Vinegar and baking soda produce carbon dioxide, a gas heavier than air. Trap that gas in a bowl and blow in a soap bubble. Will it float on top or fall through? It all comes down to density and buoyant force. bit.ly/4mM8EAD
