By Raymond Humienny NQPI writing intern Ohio University Nanoscale and Quantum Phenomena Institute alumnus Greg Petersen visited the Athens campus recently for the Condensed Matter and Surface Science Colloquium as a part of the “Bring Back OUr Alumni” event. Petersen, an algorithm engineer, shared his thoughts about establishing a career […]

By Amanda Biederman NQPI editorial intern In a paper published in Rapid Research Letters this week, a team of current and former Ohio University researchers reported a new theoretical method to determine the electrical conductive properties of a type of material that is important for the development of new computer […]

By Amanda Biederman NQPI Editorial Intern A team of researchers at Ohio University have discovered a way to alter the electronic behavior of bilayer graphene, a finding that may be applied to the control of heat dissipation in electronic devices. To implement this feat, OHIO Ph.D. alumni Dr. Abdulrhman Alsharari […]

By Amanda Biederman NQPI editorial intern Like the outermost walls surrounding a castle, the plasma membrane is the cell’s first defense against invaders. Biological membranes are semipermeable, meaning that they are designed to block unwanted molecules while permitting the passage of compounds necessary for cellular function. And yet, an occasional […]

By Raymond Humienny NQPI editorial intern New to the Nanoscale and Quantum Phenomena Institute, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Assistant Professor John Staser is no stranger to Ohio University. Staser became a professor at OHIO in 2013, and now he’s bringing his research on carbon quantum dots to a new audience. […]

By Amanda Biederman NQPI Editorial Intern Ohio University’s Edwards Accelerator Laboratory sits tucked away within the walls of an unobtrusive brick building that extends some way into the hillside at the center of the main campus. This facility blends in with surrounding buildings, yet it attracts researchers from some of […]

By Raymond Humienny NQPI editorial intern One of the Nanoscale and Quantum Phenomena Insitute’s newer members, Mechanical Engineering Assistant Professor Keerti Kappagantula is a combustion specialist who has had an explosive career since arriving at Ohio University three years ago. But nowadays she is more about building things up now […]
