Evan Toon has been working on equipment to improve targets for future experiments at our lab. The University of Tennessee, Knoxville undergraduate has helped reassemble and test a system that aligns atomic nuclei within a target. He’s also worked with collaborators at Jefferson Lab and Oak Ridge National Laboratory to better understand how those measurements work.

At the American Physical Society Division of Nuclear Physics meeting, Evan had the opportunity to share that research with our director, Jens Dilling.

Thanks to the UTK Department of Physics and Astronomy for sharing this moment.

You never know who you’ll meet at the APS Division of Nuclear Physics meeting! Undergraduate Physics Major Evan Toon (right) shared his work with Director Jens Dilling at the Conference Experience for Undergraduates (CEU) Poster Session.

The physics department sends students to conferences like last week’s DNP 2026 meeting so they can learn about the latest developments in the field, network, hear from career panels, and present their own research. It’s another way we’re training the next generation of physicists!

Last week, we welcomed U.S. Deputy Secretary of Energy James P. Danly and U.S. Rep. Rob Wittman to Jefferson Lab for a closer look at the science and technology our people make possible.

During their visit, they met with our scientists, toured our Superconducting Radiofrequency Institute and explored the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF).

In Experimental Hall A, they got a look at MOLLER, one of the most precise experiments ever conducted in nuclear physics, helping us better understand the evolution of the universe.

We’re hiring an NC Programmer-Electron Beam Welding Operator to fabricate precision components supporting SRF operations at Jefferson Lab and other nuclear research labs worldwide.

You’ll train under electron beam engineering support to develop the skills needed to operate an e-beam welding cell independently, translating engineering drawings, CAD models, and customer specifications into CNC/NC programs while designing fixtures, tool paths, and weld parameters for each job.

Congratulations to Jefferson Lab's newest Fellows of the American Physical Society!

Gianluigi Ciovati has been recognized "For outstanding contributions to the science and technology of superconducting RF and for leadership in conduction-cooled superconducting RF cryomodule technology with societal applications."

David Gaskell has been recognized "For outstanding scientific leadership in using electron scattering to probe the structure of pions, nucleons and nuclei, which provided new insights into the modification of the nucleon’s properties in nuclei, and the development of electron beam polarimeters which achieved world-record precision."

Douglas Higinbotham has been recognized "For high-impact experimental studies of nucleon-nucleon short-range correlations in nuclei, unique contributions to resolving the proton radius puzzle, and mentorship and leadership at Jefferson Lab."

We're proud of the impact our people have on moving science forward for all.

Congratulations to the 2026 class of APS Fellows. 🎉

The incoming Fellows have been recognized by their peers for exceptional contributions in physics research, important applications of physics, significant contributions to physics education, or leadership in or service to the APS community.

Join us in celebrating them: https://go.aps.org/4n2ksOe

Great news in Super Intelligence for science: We're partners on two new multi-year U.S. Department of Energy Genesis Mission project awards.

One project will use SI to unlock greater efficiencies in particle accelerators and the science, manufacturing and medical applications they enable. The other will tap SI's power in speeding up supercomputer calculations aimed at increasing our understanding of the basic structure of the universe.

Together, these two projects will unlock the power of Super Intelligence and apply it for the good of science.
