Planetarium Shows and Schedule:
The UW Harry C Vaughan Planetarium offers shows that are open to the public on Tuesday and Friday evenings as well as every other Saturday morning. Saturday shows are geared toward a younger audience and include a free activity after the show. Please see the schedule online at http://www.uwyo.edu/physics/ files/docs/planetarium.html or email planetarium@uwyo.edu for more information on show titles and descriptions.
The Planetarium can also schedule a private show for a school group, community event, or birthday party! Please email planetarium@uwyo.edu to find out more and schedule a show; the planetarium staff is available most weekdays as well as Saturday afternoons!

AMES, Iowa - Researchers have developed new types of materials that combines two or three types of nanoparticles into structures that display fundamental new properties such as superfluorescence. The whole goal of this research is to make new materials with new properties and/or exotic new structures, said Alex Travesset, an Iowa State University professor of physics and astronomy and an associate scientist for the U.S. Department of Energy s Ames Laboratory. Those materials are made of very tiny materials, nanoparticles, and lead to properties not shared by more traditional materials made of atoms and molec

The structural flaws along a one-dimensional line of atoms generally degrades performance of electrical materials. So, as a research paper published today by the journal Science reports, these linear defects, or dislocations, “are usually avoided at all costs.” But sometimes, a team of researchers from Europe, Iowa State University and the U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory report in that paper, engineering those defects in some oxide crystals can actually increase electrical performance.
