By Teaching Assistants Sara Swaim and Matthew Zendejas In an ever-growing globalized world, there is a boost in multicultural and cross-cultural interactions. The classroom is no exception. Due to a rise in migration, study abroad programs, and online courses, classrooms are becoming increasingly multicultural. There are countless benefits that come […]

In 1881, Christopher Davis, a biracial man and resident of Athens, was lynched near what is now the Richland Avenue Bridge. Davis, who had a wife, a daughter, and an infant son, had been accused of the rape and attempted murder of Lucinda Luckey, a white woman. In the years […]

By Kevin Ward (B.S. Physics, Honors Tutorial College, Class of 2021) Dr. Kenneth H. Hicks, a professor in Physics & Astronomy, directed my summer 2018 internship assignment. I traveled to the Orsay Nuclear Physics Institute in France to conduct research with Dr. Christophe Joly. The University of Connecticut sponsored my […]

Editor’s Note: The MOLLER experiment (Measurement of a Lepton-Lepton Electroweak Reaction) at Jefferson National Laboratory (JLab) proposes to measure the parity-violating asymmetry in electron-electron (Møller) scattering. The experiment will rapidly flip the longitudinal polarization of the electron beam, and measure the fractional difference in scattering rate of the beam electrons […]

By Kelsey Turner (B.S. Chemical Engineering, Russ College of Engineering and Technology, Class of 2020) Editor’s Note: During her summer 2018 internship with Dr. Arthur Smith in Physics & Astronomy, Kelsey Turner learned the technique and application of ambient atomic force & magnetic force microscopy. These allow researchers to look […]

By Graham Tupper (B.S. Engineering Physics, Honors Tutorial College, Class of 2020) My internship with Dr. Gang Chen in Physics & Astronomy last summer delved into the exploration of metal doped chalcogenides, specifically copper and silver doped germanium selenide (Cux(GeSe2)1-x and Agx(GeSe2)1-x respectively), and their possible use as memory devices. […]

By Alexandra Semposki (B.S. Physics, College of Arts & Sciences, Class of 2019) Editor’s Note: Alexandra Semposki worked with Dr. Arthur Smith a professor in Physics & Astronomy on a custom molecular beam epitaxy/ low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy system in his lab. Her summer 2018 project was to investigate nanometerscale […]
