New graduate’s medical research experience inspires her
When Hira Peracha came to the University of Delaware as a first-year student, she knew she wanted to go on to medical school, but she was unsure of the path that would take her there or what specialty she might eventually pursue.(more…)
Researchers at Berkeley Lab and their collaborators have honed a way to probe the quark-gluon plasma, the kind of matter that dominated the universe immediately after the big bang.

The findings reveal new aspects of the ultra-hot, “perfect fluid” that give clues to the state of the young universe just microseconds after the big bang. (more…)
