By Ling Xin NQPI Writing Intern A recent study at the Nanoscale and Quantum Phenomena Institute (NQPI) offers new insights into the mechanism of florescence quenching, a process in which the light emitted by excited molecules goes out quickly. By proposing that the phenomenon actually rises from intermolecular transfer rather […]

By Amanda Biederman NQPI editorial intern Many researchers are currently interested in creating composite materials that are composed of two-dimensional atomic monolayers. A team of Ohio University researchers and their collaborators recently generated a theoretical model of one such system, describing the interactions between two drastically different materials. They described […]

By Ryan Flynn NQPI Student Editorial Intern The Clippinger Laboratories building was abuzz recently with a poster competition sponsored by Ohio University’s Nanoscale & Quantum Phenomena Institute. The event highlighted leading-edge research by 36 graduate and undergraduate students and elevated their presentations on a platform to compete for cash prizes. […]

Two Ohio University physicists who were part of an international collaboration reported results of a study on self-grown graphene nanoribbons in the paper, “Linking interlayer twist angle to geometrical parameters of self-assembled folded graphene structures,” published recently in 2D Materials, a journal of the Institute of Physics. The work proposes […]

By Amanda Biederman NQPI editorial intern The Human Genome Project was declared complete in 2003, but the challenge to fully understand our DNA, the helical duplex that contains our genetic information, is far from finished. Researchers are now applying modern techniques to better understand this fundamental component of life and nature. […]

  By Amanda Biederman NQPI editorial intern In 1946, the world’s first functional digital computer filled an entire room and weighed nearly 30 metric tons. As technological advances have expanded over the decades, technological devices have undoubtedly shrunk. Yet Dr. Savas Kaya, an Ohio University professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer […]

  By Amanda Biederman NQPI editorial intern For patients with diabetes, needles and syringes are a staple of everyday life. Yet in the near future, glucose monitoring may be as simple as reading a text message. Electrical Engineering and Computer Science professor and Nanoscale and Quantum Phenomena Institute member Dr. Savas Kaya, post-doctoral […]
