RESEARCH MATTERS:

KU faculty and students are learning more about the underlying principles of the universe, using the largest scientific instrument ever built. Alice Bean, professor of physics and astronomy, played a key role in the development of the Large Hadron Collider in Europe. The research could lead to breakthroughs that change lives. "This is at the forefront of research where were tying to understand 'how is matter made? and what is mass?'" Bean said.
