Society of Physics Students at Manoa
The Society of Physics Students at the University of Hawaii at Manoa (SPS@UHM) aims to foster the physics student community. Throughout the year, we provide activities that promote the skills necessary for a profession in scientific research. These skills include effective communication and personal interactions, leadership experience, establishing a personal network of contacts, presenting scholarly work in professional meetings and journals, and outreach services to the campus and local communities.
Some of the activities we have are Lunches with Professors, Stargazing nights, and community outreach events.
Any student interested in physics is welcome.

News in Physics
The 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Rainer Weiss, Barry C. Barish, and Kip S. Thorne, due to the success of LIGO, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. The three Nobel Laureates pioneered the four decades of effort that led to observation of gravitational waves, the first of which was detected in 14 September 2015. As the final test of Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity, LIGO’s efforts have ushered in a new wave of cosmological research.
