Experimental Result New Record of DRAGON-ian Sensitivity 19 October 2010 TRIUMF's flagship nuclear astro physics facility known as DRAGON has set a new record for ultimate sensitivity—distinguishing between haystacks with needles in them and those without.
Experimental Result Diamond Detector Irradiation Tests Success 13 October 2010 Particle physicists from the ATLAS groups at Carleton, Montreal, Toronto, Victoria, and TRIUMF have confirmed that diamond detectors can withstand the impact of 1017 protons per square centimetre, relevant to a future upgrade to the LHC.
Experimental Result Ex1 Foil Breaks Record! 22 September 2010 On August 23, 2010, a new record at TRIUMF was born: the beam line 1 extraction probe 1 (Ex1) foil was replaced after a lifetime of almost seventeen weeks, far exceeding the lifetime of its predecessors!
Experimental Result PET Scan: Expectations Influence Placebo Effect 05 August 2010 Individuals with Parkinson’s disease were more likely to have a response to a placebo if they were told they had higher odds of receiving an active drug, according to new work by TRIUMF partners. 
Experimental Result Organosilicon Chemistry Secrets Unlocked 19 May 2010 Landmark results of new and exciting organosilicon chemistry possible because two highly specialized expert groups collaborated their talent to conduct research.
Experimental Result Accelerators Could Help with Nuclear Waste 22 April 2010 What does the International Linear Collider have in common with environmental protection? The answer: superconducting accelerator cavities.
Experimental Result LHC Begins Science Program 30 March 2010 This morning at 1:06 p.m. CEST in Geneva, Switzerland, the LHC began colliding particle beams at the highest energies ever reached by a man-made accelerator.  
Experimental Result Automakers Suspicious of Cosmic Ray Radiation 29 March 2010 Dr. Ewart Blackmore, senior researcher at TRIUMF, speaks to reporters on the recent issue of malfunctioning electronic devices in automobiles and whether there is any link to cosmic ray radiation. 
Experimental Result Measuring Strange-Quark Effects with G-Zero 11 March 2010 The G-Zero team is publishing conclusions about the role of strange quarks inside of protons and neutrons. The collaboration includes scientists from TRIUMF, UNBC, and the University of Manitoba.
Experimental Result Japan/Canada Team Sees Their Own Neutrinos 25 February 2010 The Japanese-led multinational T2K collaboration announced that they had detected the first neutrinos produced 295 km away at the J-PARC facility. Canada has the largest participating team outside of Japan.
