A New Scientist magazine article, titled "Is the Universe Left Handed" online and "Is Physics Moving to the Right?" in print, on "Left-right symmetric models" (a model that was suggested by Mohapatra, Pati and Senjanovic in 1974-75) mentions a recent paper by MCFP's Rabindra Mohapatra and Bhupal Dev of The University of Manchester, UK.
Xiangdong Ji was featured in a Science’s Career Magazine article, December 12, on China’s economic rise, subsequent advances in the sciences and recruiting scholars trained abroad.
Rabindra Mohapatra presented a plenary talk on "TeV scale lepton number violation and origin of matter" at the conference "Discrete 2014," King's College, London, UK, December 2-7. The meeting was a celebration of 150 years of Maxwell's equation and focused on the role of symmetries in particle physics.
Professor Emeritus Charles Misner, with collaborator Stanley Deser (Brandeis University), has been awarded the 2015 Einstein Medal by the Albert Einstein Society for “…important contributions to general relativity, in particular the development of the so-called ADM formalism.” In 1959 Richard Arnowitt, Deser and Misner found a way to recast Einstein's equations in a form that allowed hard-won mechanical and electromagnetic intuitions to be applied to gravity. This enabled a computational approach to become a major method for understanding black hole interactions.
