Jefferson Lab’s local National Lab Research SLAM competition is a short-talk competition in which postdocs and early-career scientists are challenged to present a compelling one-slide, three-minute presentation on their research that a non-specialist can understand.
The winner will compete in the national event on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., in spring 2025, when contestants from the 17 national labs will educate U.S. government policymakers and their staff about the key role our labs play in the nation’s innovation ecosystem and their impact on the nation.
A tiltwing vertical/short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) aircraft, originally a triservice development project of the US Army, US Navy/Marine Corps, and US Air Force.. The wings can tilt to the perpendicular so that the propellers are parallel to the ground, enabling to aircraft to takeoff (or land) vertically like a helicopter, then while in flight tilt the wings forward to fly forward. While successful, one of the three armed services co-operating in the development of the project (the US Navy/Marine Corps) lost interest in the project (supposedly because the aircraft was not that suitable for operations on aircraft carriers), and the project eventually died.

Jefferson Lab developed the next generation of SRF accelerator technology based on the new material niobium-tin (Nb3Sn). After decades of work, the first prototype niobium-tin cyromodule with two CEBAF-style SRF Nb3Sn cavities completed its qualification test in the Cyromodule Testing Facility (CMTF) at Jefferson lab.
The once-in-half-a-century milestone represents the beginning of a new era of SRF technology for particle accelerators and potentially many other scientific instruments.
