By Zak Blumer (B.S. HTC Engineering Physics, Class of 2018) My work under Dr. Martin Kordesch’s supervision in Physics & Astronomy involves determining the efficiency of models of concentrating thermal solar power and comparing them to other models in order to find the most efficient model. When I began my research, […]

By Amanda Biederman NQPI editorial intern Ohio University Chemistry & Biochemistry professor and Nanoscale & Quantum Phenomena Institute member Tadeusz Malinski’s work on cardiovascular and neuronal function attracted the attention of Ita Pluta-Plutowska, who recently gifted him $400,000 to study the molecular physiology of Down Syndrome. Down Syndrome affects approximately […]

By Samantha Peko NQPI editorial intern Picture an object that is approximately 1,000 times smaller than a human hair. Now imagine trying to test the temperature of this object you can’t even see. Ohio University Chemistry & Biochemistry professor and Nanoscale & Quantum Phenomena Institute member Hugh Richardson and graduate […]

By Amanda Biederman NQPI editorial intern Ohio University Environmental & Plant Biology professor and Nanoscale & Quantum Phenomena Institute member Allan Showalter is investigating the interplay between five plant genes in Arabidopsis thaliana that may contribute to saline tolerance. The genes GALT2, GALT5, SOS5, FEI1 and FEI2 encode proteins that […]

By Jenna Guyot NQPI editorial intern Ohio University Physics & Astronomy professor and Nanoscale & Quantum Phenomena Institute member David Drabold collaborated with professors Parthapratim Biswas and Raymond Atta-Fynn, from the University of Southern Mississippi and University of Texas, Arlington, respectively, through an NSF-funded grant to develop a new approach […]

By Jean Andrews Physics & Astronomy Nuclear physicists from the University of Notre Dame, Michigan State University, University of Tennessee, and Central Michigan University visited Ohio University’s Edwards Accelerator Laboratory recently to calibrate a neutron detector called the Heavy ion Accelerated Beam induced (Alpha, Neutron) Emission Ratio Observer, or “HabaNERO.” […]
