Ari Blumer presented “Methods for Growth and In-Situ Observation of Monolayer TMD Growth”at the 2017 Ohio University Society of Physics Students Research Conference held in March . Blumer is working with Dr. Martin Kordesch to build a system consisting of a furnace with an open area for viewing the growth […]

Zachary Bernens presented “Fast Scaler BCM Calibration for DVCS Experiment” at the 2017 Ohio University Society of Physics Students Research Conference held in March. Understanding the internal structure of protons and neutrons is a gateway to under­stand the origin of the vast majority of ordinary matter. A tool commonly used […]

A figure in an article co-authored by Dr. David Drabold was selected to be featured on the front page of Physical Review B in the Kaleidoscope section this month. The article, “First-principles simulations of vibrational decay and lifetimes in a-Si:H and a-Si:D,” was published on March 21. Drabold is Distinguised […]

By Amanda Biederman NQPI editorial intern Sometimes the smallest things lead us to the bigger picture. Ohio University senior engineering Physics & Astronomy Honors Tutorial College student Sara Sand said she was inspired by the possibilities of nanoscale research. “It’s amazing in the same way that people who study astronomy, […]

By Amanda Biederman NQPI editorial intern When heating objects at the nanoscale, many researchers face problems of precision, efficiency and control of the process. Ohio University Physics & Astronomy Distinguished Professor of Physics and Nanoscale and Quantum Phenomena Institute member Dr. Alexander Govorov is helping other researchers to better understand this issue. […]

New insight into flexible material one atom thick will help scientists to untangle key intrinsic properties of graphene not easily understood until now. Graphene, a crystalline slice of graphite (a form of carbon), is perhaps one of the most important materials being studied worldwide. Ohio University Associate Professor Dr. Nancy […]
