UH Mānoa physics research makes waves in Quanta

This work could lead to smarter, more energy-efficient technologies and a better understanding of how to handle uncertainty in decision-making.

The stations fill a critical 162-degree gap in the global neutron monitor network between Mexico and Thailand.

In the Fiscal Year 2023 survey, UH Mānoa ranked No. 92 nationally, and excelled in ocean sciences, astronomy and Earth sciences.

The project is supported by a four-year, $2.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation.

By detecting antineutrinos and measuring how much energy they have, scientists can figure out details about how a nuclear reactor is being used.

These projects are among 39 nationwide that have been awarded a total of $36 million in funding.

This research aims to solve this cosmic riddle and potentially reshape our understanding of the universe’s fundamental makeup.

UH Hilo’s Uluākea program is designed to teach faculty to gain a more authentic understanding of Indigenous ways of knowing the world.

Roy Tom started on June 15, 1967, fresh out of Honolulu Community College’s machine shop program.

UH Hilo Associate Professor Pierre Martin was one of the millions of people in Texas who observed the April 2024 eclipse in Texas.
