On Thursday, December 19, Governor Gina Raimondo's initiative, Computer Science for Rhode Island (CS4RI), brought over 1500 Rhode Island students from across the state’s high schools to a special yearly summit to learn how to use computer science tools and concepts to impact the world around us.

Researchers using the Murchison Widefield Array radio telescope have taken a new and significant step toward detecting a signal from the period in cosmic history when the first stars lit up the universe.

Congratulations to Prof. James Valles Jr. who was awarded the Excellent Research Award from The Magneto-Science Society of Japan for his work on manipulating biological organisms and materials with intense magnetic fields. 

In a finding that reveals an entirely new state of matter, research published in the journal Science shows that Cooper pairs, electron duos that enable superconductivity, can also conduct electricity like normal metals do.
