By Rush Deeter (B.S. Physics, College of Arts & Sciences, Class of 2019) Editor’s Note: Rush Deeter worked with Dr. Eric Stinaff on a project to exfoliate various two-dimensional materials such as molybdenum disulphide and tungsten diselenide onto lithographically patterned substrates for single photon applications. He used silicon/silicon dioxide substrates […]

By Matthew Connell (B.S. Physics, Honors Tutorial College, Class of 2021) Editor’s Note: Matthew Connell worked with Dr. Zach Meisel, an assistant professor in Physics & Astronomy and programmed a simulation of a new detector array being developed at Ohio University’s Edwards Accelerator Laboratory. Matthew’s simulations will enable researchers to […]

By Miranda Carver (B.S. Astrophysics, College of Arts & Sciences, Class of 2020) The meson is a particle made from one quark and one antiquark.  The strong force between quarks allows mesons with different masses to exist, each with unique quantum numbers.  The f1(1285) meson has a mass of 1285 […]

By Ana Bucki-Lopez (B.S. Physics, Astrophysics, College of Arts & Sciences, Class of 2019) Editor’s Note: Ana Bucki-Lopez participated in a group project with astrophysicist Dr. Hee-Jong Seo in Physics & Astronomy. The researchers use a deep learning technique to model and mitigate various observational systematics when extracting the cosmological […]

By Kevin Boyd (B.S. Physics Astrophysics, College of Arts & Sciences, Class of 2020) Experiment E12-06-114 at Jefferson Lab measured the probability of an electron inducing the radiation of a photon by a proton in kinematic regimes previously unexplored. The measurement was performed in 9 different settings. The goal of […]

Are you interested in purchasing and eating fresh, sustainable, and Appalachian Ohio-grown produce on Ohio University’s campus? Do you want to engage in a food system that supports neighboring communities and keeps food dollars in our region? Food Studies is thrilled to announce that Ohio University’s Culinary Services will officially […]

Reasons to Join OHIO Society of Physics Students The Society of Physics Students (SPS) Ohio University chapter President Kate Nichols shares why she invites physics and astronomy majors to join SPS during the school year– meet other students at lunchtime once a week, learn about faculty research, get involved in […]
