By Amanda Biederman NQPI editorial intern A team of Ohio University researchers and their collaborators used a theoretical model to characterize the physical properties of certain samples of amorphous carbon and showed that these materials are, in fact, connected and distorted fragments of amorphous graphene in an article published in […]

By Ryan Tumbleson ’20 B.S. Engineering Physics, Honors Tutorial College, B.S. Electrical Engineering, Russ College of Engineering and Technology For the third consecutive summer, I had the chance to intern at the Center for Nanoscale Materials at Argonne National Laboratory near Chicago. Working under the direction of Dr. Saw Wai-Hla, […]

A team of Ohio University nuclear physicists has proposed a new theoretical model for calculating pairing properties of atomic nuclei including those found in extreme astrophysical environments. As in some solids in which two interacting electrons pair up to act as one object that leads to superconductivity, interacting neutrons (or […]

By Amanda Biederman NQPI editorial intern In a paper published in Rapid Research Letters this week, a team of current and former Ohio University researchers reported a new theoretical method to determine the electrical conductive properties of a type of material that is important for the development of new computer […]

Two Ohio University Physics & Astronomy faculty members received prestigious U.S. Department of Energy Early Career Research Program awards, the DOE announced on June 21. DOE Early Career Awards support the development of individual research programs and stimulate research careers in the disciplines supported by the DOE Office of Science. […]

By Amanda Biederman NQPI Editorial Intern A team of researchers at Ohio University have discovered a way to alter the electronic behavior of bilayer graphene, a finding that may be applied to the control of heat dissipation in electronic devices. To implement this feat, OHIO Ph.D. alumni Dr. Abdulrhman Alsharari […]

Ohio University astrophysics doctoral student Kristyn Brandenburg was recognized at the spring 2018 Stewardship Science Academic Programs symposium, where her poster and presentation received the Outstanding Poster award. Physicists from approximately 40 universities attended the biennial symposium in Bethesda, Md., which was sponsored by the National Nuclear Security Administration. “The […]
