By Jeremy Held ’17 HTC Plant Biology Major Summer internship, Edge of Appalachia Preserve in Adams County, OH One of the biggest challenges at Edge of Appalachia, and any preserve for that matter, is invasive plants. For a large preserve like EOA, the most effective way to treat these invasive […]

A WMAR report on “Maryland terrapin population fighting development, predators and crab pots” quotes Dr. Willem Roosenburg, Professor of Biological Sciences, on his research on the terrapin. “Diamondback terrapins—the official reptile of Maryland—already have a lot stacked against them,” says the article that tells residents how to install turtle-excluder devices […]

From the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, and re-printed in R&D magazine Using two thin, tiny gold nanorods 10,000 times thinner than a human hair, researchers have succeeded in creating an adjustable filter for so-called circularly polarized light. The crucial factor for how the system absorbs light is the […]

Two Ohio University physicists co-authored a July 6 article on Nature Materials on “Reconfigurable 3D plasmonic metamolecules.” Dr. Alexander Govorov, Professor of Physics & Astronomy, and Dr. Hui Zhang, a post-doctoral researcher, were co-authors along with four others: Anton Kurzk and Na Liu, of the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems […]
