“What is the origin of the elements? This question has been identified by the National Academy of Sciences as one of the key questions about our universe,” writes Dr. Kenneth Hicks in his Columbus Dispatch column. “You might think that the answer is obvious. In high school science classes, we […]

By Zak Blumer (B.S. HTC Engineering Physics, Class of 2018) My work under Dr. Martin Kordesch’s supervision in Physics & Astronomy involves determining the efficiency of models of concentrating thermal solar power and comparing them to other models in order to find the most efficient model. When I began my research, […]
