Dr. Alexander O. Govorov, Ohio University Professor of Physics and Astronomy, gives an invited talk on Nanophotonics at the IEEE Photonics Conference in Bellevue, Wash., Sept. 8-12. His talk is on “Optically active hybrid nanostructures: Injection of hot plasmonic electrons, exciton-plasmon interaction, chirality and related applications.” “Hybrid nanostructure excited by […]

Two Ohio University physicists are presenting at the 22nd European Conference on Few-Body Problems in Physics in Krakow, Poland, Sept. 9-13. The professors are from the Department of Physics and Astronomy in College of Arts & Sciences. Both are also members of the Ohio University Institute of Nuclear and Particle Physics. […]

As matter “cooks” to 4 trillion degrees Celsius—250,000 times hotter than the center of the sun—protons and neutrons melt into a liquid plasma of quarks and gluons. This liquid may have been present at the start of the universe for a few microseconds. But Dr. Justin Frantz has an even […]

By Jessica Salerno Office of Research Communications Few physics students can say that they helped analyze a first-of-its-kind molecular motor, published a research article in the prestigious journal Nature Nanotechnology, and helped the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory to construct a major new piece of scientific equipment all […]

Ohio University research merges manganese, gallium nitride in uniform layer Ten years ago, scientists were convinced that a combination of manganese and gallium nitride could be a key material to create spintronics, the next generation of electronic devices that operate on properties found at the nanoscale. But researchers grew discouraged […]
