2024 has been one of the most important years for Caltech, which continues to build on its legacy of scientific discovery, innovation, and academic excellence. Although we are coming to the end of this year, we beavers are sure to make new discoveries as we step into 2025. In 1920 Throop university changed its name and marked a new era as the California Institute of Technology name. 2024 brings new milestones, anniversaries, and achievements that further highlight the Institute’s incredible cont
Olive Walk, Caltech, Pasadena, USA — In a shocking turn of events, the elusive “Hand Drill Hannibal” has struck again, this time pilfering hand drills from both Blacker Hovse and Page House within the last week. Local residents are in a frenzy as the drill bandit continues to leave no tool unturned.

The Caltech Turtle Club, founded in 2021, began its campaign to change the school’s mascot from the beaver to the turtle in April 2024. One of their chief arguments, presented on the club’s website, is for uniqueness: “It’s time for Caltech to distinguish itself with a mascot that sets us apart. MIT may also boast the beaver, but we are Caltech – a beacon of originality and ingenuity. By embracing the turtle, we not only carve out our own identity but also symbolize our commitment to forging ou

Tim Ryan enrolled in Caltech in 1973. Initially a physics major – his advisor the famous Richard Feynman – Tim soon found himself swept up by the then-hot field of electrical engineering. “We were right at the beginning of that, where the first inexpensive microprocessors had become available,” Tim recalled. Around 1975
We aim to explore the two most fundamental questions: “How did everything start?” and “Is there life beyond our own Earth?” We’ve talked about our ongoing and future efforts to address the first question in a previous article (Imaging The Beginning Of Time From The South Pole, The California Tech, April 11, 2023) where we discussed our South Pole research imaging the beginning of time. The second fundamental question will be th
