Cavendish Laboratory Cavendish Laboratory The Cavendish Laboratory is the Department of Physics at the University of Cambridge, and is part of the School of Physical Sciences. The laboratory was opened in 1874 on the New Museums Site as a laboratory for experimental physics. The laboratory moved to its present site in West Cambridge in 1974. , 29 Cavendish researchers have won Nobel Prizes. The Cavendish Laboratory was initially located on the New Museums Site, Free School Lane, in the centre of Cambridge. After perennial space problems, it moved to its present site in West Cambridge in the early 1970s. The oak door
Lyman Laboratory of Physics Lyman Laboratory of Physics The Lyman Laboratory of Physics (named for the physicist Theodore Lyman) is a facility at Harvard University, located between the Jefferson and Crufts Laboratories near the John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. It was built in the early 1930s, to a design by Coolidge, Shepley, Bulfinch and Abbott. Among the staff are Sheldon Lee Glashow, Higgins Professor of Physics, Emeritus and Richard Wilson (physicist), Mallinckrodt Professor of Physics, Emeritus. Here, Ranga Dias (Post-Doctoral Fellow) and Isaac F. Silvera (Thomas D. Cabot Professor of the Natural Sciences) claim to have gathered experimental evidence that
