A team of Ohio University researchers recently published a paper in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces that describes the mechanism by which lead halide perovskite nanoparticles blink under light illumination. This research may aid in the development of more efficient and more stable solar cell and LED devices. The paper, titled […]

By Grant Merz (B.S. Astrophysics, Honors Tutorial College, Class of 2020) Editor’s Note: Grant worked with Dr. Zachary Meisel and performed simulations of type I X-ray bursts, thermonuclear explosions that occur on the surface of neutron stars, which are dense remnants of stellar explosions.  Grant’s work will identify the impact […]

By Brittney Kenady (B.S. Physics Astrophysics, College of Arts & Sciences, Class of 2021) My summer research with Dr. Carl Brune at Ohio University’s Edwards Accelerator Laboratory  involved comparing methods of calibrating our NE213 neutron detectors by using data collected from previous experiments and analyzing it with a new code. […]

By Daniel Ivory (B.S. Applied Physics, College of Arts & Sciences, Class of 2020) Editor’s Note: Ohio University researchers obtain astronomical images for both research and class work using the 1.3 meter McGraw-Hill telescope at MDM Observatory on Kitt Peak in Arizona. We process and calibrate these images using an […]

By William Eshbaugh (B.S. Applied Physics, College of Arts & Sciences, Class of 2020) Editor’s Note: Experiment E12-13-010 at Jefferson  National Laboratory will measure the probability of an electron inducing the radiation of a photon by a proton in kinematic regimes previously unexplored. To do so, a new detector is […]

By Rush Deeter (B.S. Physics, College of Arts & Sciences, Class of 2019) Editor’s Note: Rush Deeter worked with Dr. Eric Stinaff on a project to exfoliate various two-dimensional materials such as molybdenum disulphide and tungsten diselenide onto lithographically patterned substrates for single photon applications. He used silicon/silicon dioxide substrates […]

By Matthew Connell (B.S. Physics, Honors Tutorial College, Class of 2021) Editor’s Note: Matthew Connell worked with Dr. Zach Meisel, an assistant professor in Physics & Astronomy and programmed a simulation of a new detector array being developed at Ohio University’s Edwards Accelerator Laboratory. Matthew’s simulations will enable researchers to […]
