SUPER KAMIOKANDE

The Super-K experiment is a neutrino detector deep underneath a mountain in central Japan.

BEHRINGER GROUP

Jie Ren uses photoelastic particles to understand jamming for granular materials.

Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos

Seth Cohen uses the high-speed chaos produced by a nonlinear electronic circuit for novel sensing applications.

TILING PATTERNS

Local Action, Global Impact: A single shape has been found that can fill 3D space, but only in a non-periodic way.

Network Dynamics

David Rosin uses a field programmable gate array to perform experiments on large networks of coupled oscillators.
