VIRGINIA TECH RESEARCH EXPERTS IN THE MEDIA

ScienceAlert - We've Been Misreading a Major Law of Physics For Almost 300 Years - Virginia Tech philosopher Daniel Hoek wanted to "set the record straight" after discovering what he describes as a "clumsy mistranslation" in the original 1729 English translation of Newton's Latin Principia. 

Interesting Engineering (also MSN and Popular Mechanics) - Billion-year-old rocks could be hiding dark matter, scientists surprise - “The team has already started generating 3D renderings of high-energy particle tracks in synthetic lithium fluoride. This artificial crystal won’t make a good dark-matter detector, but it will help establish the full range of signals while keeping the crystal intact,” Patrick Huber, a physicist at Virginia Tech, said.

Business Insider Data centers have an answer to fossil fuel emissions: Bury them - Researchers at Virginia Tech are currently conducting a feasibility study on industrial carbon capture in the region, funded by the US Department of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management.
