Congratulations to the XL-Calibur team on a successful launch day! 👏🎉

#superconductors are crucial in modern #physics, and the Josephson effect has use in advanced tech. New @WUSTL research shows how to create momentum space junctions in Bose-Einstein condensates, enabling new #quantum simulations. 🌌 #science Read here: shorturl.at/KyIhX

Don't miss out! We're #excited to welcome Dr. Robin Canup of Southwest Research Institute to Graham Chapel on the @WUSTL campus to discuss the origins of the #moon and we hope to have a full house for her talk ! 🌚🔭😁

Join us tonight for a public lecture by Robin Canup on The Origin of the Moon! Graham Chapel at #WashU, 7:30pm. mcss.wustl.edu/events/public-…

Dr. Robin Canup of SWRI gave a talk on Tuesday on theories of the origin of the #moon. This talk, part of NASA Exploration Science Forum this week at #WashU, centered on current models of how the moon formed. #science #STEM Check out the recording: youtube.com/watch?v=W1QzY3…

We have to remember that what we observe is not nature herself, but nature exposed to our method of questioning. -- Werner Heisenberg

Congrats to Xi for her exciting new paper! 👏😁

The truth may be puzzling. It may take some work to grapple with. It may be counterintuitive. It may contradict deeply held prejudices. It may not be consonant with what we desperately want to be true. But our preferences do not determine what's true. - Carl Sagan

Yes, Mercury is in retrograde. No, you can't blame it for all your bad luck 😅 Professor of WashU Physics Tansu Daylan explains why it's actually "nothing fancy." mashable.com/article/mercur…

Jupiter’s moon Io has long fascinated scientists with its volcanic eruptions and sulfur-rich surface. WashU's Ryan Ogliore is helping to develop a mission to explore Io’s volcanoes by observing eruptions up close and bringing samples back to the lab. mcss.wustl.edu/news/shooting-…
