New York State’s ambitious and vitally necessary plans to reduce greenhouse gases and fight climate change — by some measures, the toughest blueprint in the nation — will be for naught without a commitment to human ingenuity and growing technological innovation.
March Madness may be descending on the Stony Brook campus again. The Seawolves are enjoying an unprecedented campaign. On Saturday, they defeated New Hampshire, 52-50, to improve to 23-1.
The 12th-ranked Stony Brook women's lacrosse team earned a statement win in its season opener, topping fourth-ranked Syracuse, 17-16, on Monday night inside the Carrier Dome.
On Wednesday, January 29, The Science Coalition (TSC) celebrated the launch of the first-ever Congressional Women in STEM Caucus, co-chaired by U.S. Representatives Chrissy Houlahan, D-Pa., Debbie Lesko, R-Ariz., Haley Stevens, D-Mich., and Jackie Walorski, R-Ind.
In the field of particle physics, Chang Kee Jungis one of the world's leading experts in the study of neutrino oscillations, which occur when a neutrino of one type can change into one of a different type, a phenomenon which could prove critical to understanding the role of antimatter in the origin of the universe. Neutrinos are similar to the more familiar electron, with one crucial difference: neutrinos do not carry electric charge. Jung is also an expert in proton decay, a hypothetical form of decay in the Grand Unification Theories in which the proton decays into lighter subatomic particles. He has participated in the T2K Experiment and recently joined the leadership team of the DUNE experiment, aimed at deepening the understanding of the physical universe through the study of neutrinos. Lastly, Jung studies and teaches a course about the physics of sports.
