Lyman Laboratory of Physics

The Lyman Laboratory of Physics (named for the physicist Theodore Lyman) is a building at Harvard University located between the Jefferson and Cruft Laboratories in the North Yard.^[1] It was built in the early 1930s, to a design by Coolidge, Shepley, Bulfinch and Abbott^[2]

Among those who have done research at Lyman are Sheldon Glashow, Higgins Professor of Physics, Emeritus and Richard Wilson, Mallinckrodt Professor of Physics, Emeritus.^[3] Here, Ranga P. Dias (Post-Doctoral Fellow)^[4] and Isaac F. Silvera (Thomas D. Cabot Professor of the Natural Sciences)^[3] claim to have gathered experimental evidence that solid metallic hydrogen had been synthesised.^[5]
