By Ryan Tumbleson ’20 B.S. Engineering Physics and B.S. Electrical Engineering, Honors Tutorial College I had the opportunity to receive a second consecutive summer internship at Argonne National Laboratory near Chicago. For 10 weeks I worked under the direction of Ohio University physics professor Dr. Saw Wai-Hla. Dr. Hla has […]

By Raymond Humienny NQPI writing intern The Ohio University BobCat Nano Wagon took home the silver medal from the first ever Nanocar Race hosted at CEMES (Centre d’Élaboration de Matériaux et d’Etudes Structurales) in Toulouse, France. Nanoscale and Quantum Phenomena Institute members Dr. Saw-Wai Hla (Physics & Astronomy) and Dr. […]

Dr. Saw-Wai Hla and Dr. Sergio Ulloa, Professors of Physics & Astronomy at Ohio University, have published a journal article in Nature Communications about semiconducting graphene nanoribbons that could be better suited than graphene for applications ranging from electronic and optoelectronic devices. The nanoribbons used for this research are strips of graphene […]

By Jim Sabin From Compass Imagine all the world’s information on one cell phone. That would be a quantum engineering feat, but OHIO researchers are one step closer, thanks to the Bobcat Nanowagon. Dr. Saw-Wai Hla and Dr. Eric Masson are thrilled with their team’s performance in the world’s first […]

  Just a few hours from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway—and deep in NASCAR country—one of the world’s tiniest, fastest racetracks was in Athens, Ohio, at the end of April. The Track: Wasn’t that race in France? Yep. The world watched (live on YouTube) the control room in Toulouse—with the Ohio University […]

Unlike NASCAR. there’s no celebrity announcing, “Drivers, start your engines.” The “engines” are scanning tunneling microscopes. The cars are just a few atoms. And the track is solid gold. The OHIO Bobcat Nanowagon is representing the United States in the world’s first nanocar race this weekend in Toulouse, France. The […]
