The addition to men's and women's swimming and diving to the Reivers' athletic department this Fall was approved by the Iowa Western Board of Trustees.
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will open a new era in astronomy that brings scientists to the brink of studying gravitational waves from the beginning of time
An international team of scientists, including physics and astronomy Prof. Shane Larson, will construct a new gravitational wave detector with the European Space Agency over the next 10 years, the University announced Jan. 25. Larson is a U.S. board member on the consortium overseeing the construction of the detector, named the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna..
“We’re used to thinking about the universe in terms of pictures,” said Shane Larson, an astrophysicist at Northwestern University. The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna is “going to sense the universe in gravity itself.”
