By Ling Xin NQPI Editorial Intern Nanoscale and Quantum Phenomena Institute 2019 Fall Newsletter Even as a teenager, Sarah Hormozi was fascinated by the way water flows. “I was always thinking how we can express fluids in the language of mathematics,” she said. Driven by her curiosity in math and physics […]

By Ling Xin NQPI Editorial Intern Nanoscale and Quantum Phenomena Institute 2019 Fall Newsletter As a materials research scientist and electrical engineer, Dr. Wojciech Jadwisienczak specializes in optical spectroscopy, a technique that uses light to understand the structure and properties of materials. A member of the Ohio University Nanoscale and Quantum […]

By Ling Xin NQPI Editorial Intern Nanoscale and Quantum Phenomena Institute 2019 Fall Newsletter Analytical chemist Dr. Anthony Stender pointed a green-color, palm-sized microscope at some crystal samples and pressed the capture button. As the microscope was connected to a desktop via a USB plug, an image of the crystals’ fine […]

Six Ohio University undergraduate Physics & Astronomy students presented an overview of their projects undertaken the previous summer, during the 2019 Society of Physics Students (SPS) Research Conference held recently in Clippinger Labs. First place winner Miranda Carver, a senior physics major in the College of Arts and Sciences, presented […]

Science News writes about research by Dr. Joseph Johnson in an article headlined “Bats in attics might be necessary for conservation.” Johnson is Assistant Professor of Biological Sciences at Ohio University. For the little brown bat — a small mouse-eared bat with glossy brown fur — a warm, dry place […]

From Ohio University News New research at Ohio University shows that a particular subclass of low-density lipoproteins (LDL), also known as “bad cholesterol,” is a much better predictor of potential heart attacks than the mere presence of LDL, which is incorrect more often than not. The presence of LDL is […]

Three Ohio University physicists traveled to Chengdu, China this semester, to present their research at the EMN Open Access Week 2019, the International Conference on Energy, Materials and Nanotechnology. Dr. Alexander (Sasha) Govorov, Dr. Sergio Ulloa, and Dr. Eric Stinaff were joined by OHIO alumnus Dawei Zhai (Ph.D. ’18), a […]
