New evidence for electron’s dual nature found in a quantum spin liquid .
New experiments conducted at Princeton University provide evidence for a decades-old theory that, in the quantum regime, an electron behaves as if it is made of two particles, one particle that carries its negative charge and the other that gives it a magnet-like property called spin. The Princeton team detected evidence for this theory in materials called quantum spin liquids.
Dale Awards allow students to pursue independent post-graduation and summer projects .
The Dale Fellowship provides a $35,000 grant for a senior to spend the year after graduation on “an independent project of extraordinary merit that will widen the recipient’s experience of the world and significantly enhance the recipient’s growth and intellectual development.” Dale Summer Awards are given to sophomores to pursue an independent project during the break between academic years.
