UK Physics Professor Discovers Important Experimental Result
University of Kentucky physics Professor Tim Gorringe's research collaboration has recently gained attention for an important experimental result.
Cosmos and Computers: Gary Ferland discusses infrastructure upgrades for studying space.
The University of Kentucky recently announced big upgrades to its supercomputing infrastructure. This means more power for researchers across the campus working on some of the questions that have puzzled us the longest.
A New Path Forward: UK Proposes to Self-fund Transformation of Campus
University of Kentucky President Eli Capilouto Thursday praised the partnership of Gov. Steve Beshear and legislative leaders who are strongly supporting UK's self-financing of a dramatic $275 million transformation of the campus, including a new Academic Sciences building.

Higgs Discovery: Implications for Particle Physics - 2 Nov. 2012
The LHC has recently discovered a Higgs-like resonance with a mass of about 125 GeV. It may be the missing element of the so-called Standard Model of particle physics. This model was proposed a few decades ago, and, after the inclusion of neutrino masses, describes in an accurate way all measured observables not involving gravity. We shall discuss what are the possible implications of the Higgs Discovery for particle physics and, in particular, for theoretical and experimental physics High Energy Physics in the coming years.
