Read the message from Brown University High-Energy Physics group and the CMS public announcment of the new results.

Nanopores could provide a new way to sequence DNA quickly, but the physics involved isn’t well understood. That’s partly because of the complexities involved in studying the random, squiggly form DNA takes in solution. Researchers from Brown have simplified matters by using a stiff, rod-like virus instead of DNA to experiment with nanopores. Their research has uncovered previously unknown dynamics in polymer-nanopore interactions. Read More

Remembering Professor Gerald Guralnik -- A message from President Paxson

Brown University News - Passages: Gerald S. Guralnik

The quest to find the most mysterious particles in the Universe is entering a critical phase, scientists say. Read more

A new calibration of the Large Underground Xenon (LUX) dark matter detector brought a 10-fold increase in calibration accuracy, confirming findings announced last October from the instrument’s first 90-day run. If low-mass “WIMP” particles had passed through the detector, LUX would have found them. Read more
