At the AI+Expo in DC, we shared how AI is connecting accelerator data, computing and real-world operations.

Supporting @ENERGY’s discovery, computing and advanced AI priorities, this work helps drive U.S. leadership in scientific innovation.

Behind every student exploring science is an educator making it happen. This Teacher Appreciation Day, we celebrate teachers who spark curiosity. Our recent, JSAT Teacher Night brought some of our favorite educators together for hands-on STEM activities. Thank you for all you do!

One force binds a galaxy far, far away. Another connects the building blocks of the universe. At Jefferson Lab, scientists explore the strong force to understand how it binds the nucleus and forms matter. May the (strong) force be with you.

Attention Hampton Roads: We will be conducting our monthly tornado siren test at 10:30 a.m. today. Residents within 1.5 miles of the laboratory may hear the siren. This is only a test. No need to take cover if you hear it.

We celebrated 13 @JLab_News innovators who earned 5 new patents in precision instrumentation, environmental radiation monitoring, SRF quality methods and advanced materials processing. Congratulations and thank you for helping sustain a culture of innovation.

Built from what came before.
Inspired by what comes next.
Happy Earth Day from Jefferson Lab. 🌎

What if a single speck of dust could derail cutting-edge nuclear physics research?

Postdoc Fellow Sasha Hryhorenko inspects a custom ceramic RF window for CEBAF. Even a single embedded particle can affect performance, so every component is checked under a microscope before use.

Inside our clean room, SRF Vacuum Systems Engineer Adam Duzik operates a robotic system with 3D vision for SRF cavity assembly.

Less contamination. More precision. Stronger performance.

Today, April 15, we’re heading to the @ENERGY National Lab Research SLAM.

Our postdoc, Tyler Hague, will represent Jefferson Lab with his talk, “Opposites Annihilate: Accelerating Antimatter to Unlock New Physics.”

Tune in at 4 p.m. ET and cheer him on. https://t.co/Yn4PFgPgJ4

We're putting a unique "spin" on fusion research, fueling efforts to harness the power of the stars for the world’s electrical grid. The project explores a type of fuel treatment, spin polarization, in the extreme conditions of a superheated plasma.

Early career researchers across the U.S Department of @ENERGY National Lab complex are getting ready for the National Research SLAM.

We will be represented by postdoctoral researcher Tyler Hague, who will share how antimatter beams could unlock new physics.

Stay tuned.
