By Jamison Lahman, PACE writer and Jean Andrews Physics & Astronomy  Ohio University’s 2016-17 Visiting Glidden Professor Dr. Andreas Nogga seeks to understand more about the forces holding atomic nuclei together.  As one of the leading few-body theoretical physicists, he studies the strong nuclear force, one of the four fundamental […]

Gold is shiny, glass is transparent, and so on. But researchers at Ohio University and Louisiana State University have proven theoretically that it is possible to impart properties of one material onto another, by placing them in close proximity. Physical properties of materials can be contagious, according to work by […]

Dr. Sergio Ulloa, Professor of Physics & Astronomy at Ohio University, co-authored an article in Physical Review B on “Magnetic-field-induced mixed-level Kondo effect in two-level systems.” His co-authors are Arturo Wong of Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México and Anh T. Ngo of Argonne National Laboratory. Abstract: We consider a two-orbital […]
