1 day ago · Researchers at UC Berkeley have enhanced the precision of gravity experiments using an atom interferometer combined with an optical lattice, significantly extending the time atoms can be held in free fall. Despite not yet finding deviations from Newton’s gravity, these advancements could potentially reveal new quantum aspects of gravity and test theories about exotic particles like chameleons or symmetrons.
May 28, 2024 · Over 1700 postdocs, 1200 visiting scholars, and 524 visiting student researchers, representing 114 countries. The rich diversity of the VSPA community enhances the research excellence at UC Berkeley.
3 days ago · My first month at UC Berkeley was a packed collection of moments like these. Where I initially feared that anxiety and imposter syndrome would override any sense of belonging, I mostly remember being utterly exhausted from having the literal time of my life. Here are my highlights and reflections on starting at Berkeley to help prepare you for ...
2 days ago · UC Berkeley Study Abroad Course Guide. June 27, 2024. In the first three weeks of school, it's essential for international students to finalize their course selections, considering factors like class capacity and credit transfer. This period can be challenging, requiring strategic planning and early engagement with professors and teaching ...
3 days ago · Young voters across the political spectrum increasingly share ideals on issues such as climate change, women's rights and the important role of government in addressing the costs of education and health care, says new UC Berkeley research. But, the researchers found, dysfunctional government is leaving millennial and Gen Z voters fatalistic.
