Join us for a special one-day celebration of TRIUMF science in Whistler, BC: The TRIUMF Explorium!
This interactive, free, fun-for-all ages STEAM event is hosted by TRIUMF at one of the world’s longest-running science conferences, EMIS.
Free registration: www.eventbrite.ca/e/triumf-exp...
Calling all physics enthusiasts!
Saturday Morning Lectures is back once again for the Fall 2025 season. This term, we'll be exploring gravitational wave detectors, quantum communications, creating sharper-than-light images using electrons – and more!
Starting Oct 4:

A large piece of the cyclotron on display in front of a concrete brick wall. It’s round with a blue hole in the middle, and components that fan out all around the circumference
Outside of a large building with a blue door and white concrete brick walls. A sign affixed to the wall says Electron Hall. On the door there are notices of caution and that eating or drinking is not permitted in this area. A wooden palette is leaning up against the wall.
In a jungle of giant yellow concrete blocks sits a network of cables, wires, and metal conduits and pipes leading into a large metal barrel-looking thing with even more wires and technical components piled on top of it. A man in a red jumpsuit and yellow safety harness is standing on a ladder beside holding some coiled wires
Up close look at a part of component in the TRIUMF Lab. Vertical photo of repeated patterns of copper tabs woven between white plastic or metal mesh with a distinct pattern that’s tight towards the centre and like triangles on the outside
More scenes from my tour at @triumflab.bsky.social this week - home to the world’s largest cyclotron (particle accelerator) of its kind out at UBC.

Thrilled to welcome colleagues from Canada Foundation for Innovation's Board and exec team to TRIUMF today to learn more about our 50-year history serving as a major research facility in Canada and national portal to international 'Big Science' like the ATLAS collab at @cern.bsky.social

Walking in to NASA’s JPL today as a woman in science leadership felt almost like a protest. They can take us off the webpages and the walls, but we will still be here, absolutely crushing it, and supporting our community while we do it.
Happy International Day of Women in Science, everyone.
TRIUMF was pleased to welcome Germany’s Ambassador to Canada Tjorven Bellmann for a brief visit, including a presentation on the laboratory’s broad portfolio of collaborative work with German institutions and a tour of the lab. Thanks for stopping in, Ambassador Bellmann!
Hello, Bluesky!
From the hunt for the smallest particles in the universe to the development of new technologies, including next-generation batteries and medical isotopes, we are pushing the frontiers in research to advance science, medicine, and industry.
