Can we actually use neutrinos? What do we know about climage change? How do particle accelerators work? If you’re curious about what physics is and how it impacts the world we live in, spend Saturday morning at the University of Tennessee for our Saturday Morning Physics series. Physics faculty along with experts from other UT departments and Oak Ridge National Laboratory will explain their research and how it ties in with some of the important scientific questions that challenge our thinking and help shape our future.
