Congratulations to Texas A&M Regents Professor of Chemistry and Cyclotron Institute Director Sherry Yennello, who has been selected as one of three Team Leaders for the United States Delegation to the 7th IUPAP International Conference on Women in Physics (ICWIP 2020), set for July 13-17 in Melbourne, Australia.

New results from STAR experiment show antiquarks' contribution to proton spin depends on "flavor" -- and in a way that's opposite to those flavors' relative abundance

A Texas A&M Cyclotron Institute-led consortium has been awarded a five-year, $10 million Stewardship Science Academic Alliances Program grant from the U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration to establish and implement the Center for Excellence in Nuclear Training And University-based Research (CENTAUR).

Texas A&M Cyclotron Institute postdoctoral researcher Ting Lin has been selected as a co-recipient of Brookhaven National Laboratory's 2018 RHIC and AGS Thesis Award recognizing the most outstanding doctoral thesis related to research conducted at Brookhaven facilities.

Since 1967, the Cyclotron Institute has served as the core of Texas A&M's nuclear science program and as a major technical and educational resource for the state, nation and world. Join us in celebrating 50 years of beam in a three-day symposium dedicated to Texas A&M's past, present, and future of exploring the nuclear frontier.

Scientists across Texas and the nation will convene in College Station March 9 to explore current and potential opportunities within two of Texas A&M's greatest resources for nuclear science research and education -- the Cyclotron Institute and the Nuclear Science Center -- as part of an isotope production workshop at the Cyclotron Institute.

Russian scientist Yuri Oganessian, a Texas A&M Institute for Advanced Study (TIAS) Faculty Fellow and a Cyclotron Institute collaborator, came to Texas A&M earlier this month for a public lecture detailing his experience with element 118, officially named oganesson in his honor Nov. 30.

Russian physicist, Texas A&M University Institute for Advanced Study (TIAS) Faculty Fellow and Cyclotron Institute collaborator Yuri Oganessian helped to discover many super heavy elements. The heaviest one yet -- element 118, or "oganesson" -- is set to be named after him this fall.

Upgrades underway in the Texas A&M Cyclotron Institute are expected to be complete in 2016, just in time for the institute to mark an upcoming milestone in style -- 50 years of beam on target.

Sometimes "ah-ha" moments can come at unexpected times. In Texas A&M senior physics major Layla Bakhtiari's case, a big one happened when she found career inspiration in a television show as an 11-year-old that led to a home as an undergraduate researcher in the world-renowned Texas A&M Cyclotron Institute.

Many of the world's leaders in super heavy element research are visiting the Texas A&M University campus this week for the 2015 International Symposium on Super Heavy Nuclei, hosted by the Texas A&M Cyclotron Institute.

Spring is in the air, and for several days just after sunset earlier in March, so was Comet PanSTARRS. Armed with viewing tips from Texas A&M astronomers, science enthusiasts across the Brazos Valley got a little more up close and personal with their night sky, as evidenced by the many great shots of the historic comet (including this one from Lake Bryan by Sid Ehlert) sent in to local media outlets and shared via social media.

It was standing-room only last Saturday in the Stephen W. Hawking Auditorium, where Texas A&M astronomer Jennifer Marshall shared her knowledge of extra-terrestrial planets with area high school students participating in the National Science Foundation-funded Saturday Morning Physics (SMP) Program.

In a non-descript building at the corner of University Drive and Spence Streets sits one of the hardest-working, unsung teaching and research heroes to be found on the entire 5,200-acre Texas A&M University campus. But don’t let the faded beige exterior of the Luedecke Cyclotron Institute Building fool you. Inside beats the heart of a […]

Dr. Robert E. Tribble, professor of physics and director of Texas A&M University’s Cyclotron Institute, has been invited by the United States Secretary of Energy and the director of the National Science Foundation to serve a three-year term as chair of the Department of Energy/National Science Foundation Nuclear Science Advisory Committee. Established in 1977, the […]
