The 2016 CAP-TRIUMF Vogt Medal for Contributions to Subatomic Physics is awarded to Dr. Akira Konaka, TRIUMF Research Scientist, for his outstanding contributions to the T2K long-baseline neutrino experiment, including his leadership in establishing the collaboration.
The TRIUMF running team challenged themselves in Canada’s biggest road race, the Vancouver Sun Run 10K, and earned a 1st place finish in the High Tech Category of 102 teams, and a 2nd place finish overall of 1156 teams.
Recently retired and now a researcher emeritus, Art Olin shares stories from his impressive career at TRIUMF and tells us what it is that keeps him coming back to his "home base".
TRIUMF's theory department offers a broad range of expertise in nuclear structure and reaction techniques, making them ideal candidates to host the Ab Initio Nuclear Structure and Reaction Theory workshop, a global dialogue hosted by TRIUMF.
Physics can be daunting for the first-time student, observer or enthusiast. Luckily, people like Dr. Wenjun Li are dedicated to making physics understandable, interesting, engaging and relevant.
100 years after Einstein predicted them in his theory of General Relativity, LIGO scientists have confirmed the existence of gravitational waves. The discovery came in time to cap off the (Einstein Centenary) Saturday Morning Lecture series.
Last fall, the 2016 Breakthrough Prize-winning T2K project in Japan enlisted TRIUMF remote handling experts Chad Fisher and Isaac Earle to perform a critical beamline fix.
At five years old, Milena Čolović wanted to be a medical doctor. Now, as a master’s student at UBC and as a trainee of the ISOSIM CREATE program, she’s certainly on her way to achieving that goal.
The ALPHA Collaboration, including several key contributors from TRIUMF, once again pushed the boundaries of antihydrogen research with their latest breakthrough.
