From smoke cannons to solar observation to pH testing, there was so much fun to be had at #MarylandDay!

Thanks to all of the faculty, staff and student volunteers who made all 45 of our college's events possible!

[UMD Research @UMDResearch]

Two Distinguished University Professors in the @UMDPhysics have been elected to the National Academy of Sciences for outstanding accomplishments in quantum science.

Sankar Das Sarma and Richard L. Greene were among the 120 American and 25 international scientists selected this year “in recognition of their distinguished and continuing achievements in original research.”

They join fewer than 2,800 American scientists from all disciplines who have been chosen by academy members for outstanding contributions. Their election brings the total number of Terps in the academy to 27; UMD faculty memberships in national academies now stand at more than 110.

Even electrons have a dating life of sorts. An experiment from JQI researchers probed the social lives of quantum particles and the new phenomena that can occur when quantum relationships break down. https://t.co/dt4jzY6rxi @UMDPhysics @UMDscience @NIST @eceumd @Hafezi_Mohammad
