Five students in the Quantum Scholars program have been awarded a scholarship in honor of Jennifer Turner-Valle, an alumna of ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder Physics. The named scholarships are a tribute to Dr. Turner-Valle who passed away in 2023.

Profesor Adjoint of Physics and JILA/NIST Fellow Judah Levine serves as the head of the Network Synchronization Project in the Time and Frequency Division at NIST. He was recently interviewed by Denver 7 and the New York Times about timekeeping, the history of the leap day, and why he's advocating for a leap minute rather than periodically adding leap seconds.

The ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder Society of Physics Students chapter was awarded a 2022-2023 Distinguished Chapter Award from the National Society of Physics Students organization. The award recognizes chapters for efforts including outreach, participation in community service, social events, interactions with alumni, and involvement in SPS programs.

A new advancement in theoretical physics could, one day, help engineers develop new kinds of computer chips that might store information for long periods of time in very small objects.
