By Amanda Biederman NQPI editorial intern A team of Ohio University researchers and their collaborators used a theoretical model to characterize the physical properties of certain samples of amorphous carbon and showed that these materials are, in fact, connected and distorted fragments of amorphous graphene in an article published in […]

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 Each year, the American Physical Society’s March Meeting brings together thousands of scientists from around the world, featuring the most current findings in condensed matter physics research (the APS hosts another meeting for Nuclear and Particle Physics, in addition to other specialized meetings throughout […]

Ohio University alum Dr. Brent K. Park was sworn in April 3 as head of the U.S. nuclear nonproliferation program in the National Nuclear Security Administration, according to an NNSA news release. Connect with Park on LinkedIn. Park earned a Ph.D. in Physics in 1991 from the College of Arts […]

Two physicists predict that electronic currents of graphene can be split into two parts, thereby allowing scientists to manipulate the properties of graphene in new ways. Ohio University alum Dr. Mahmoud Asmar (Physics PhD ’15), and Dr. Sergio Ulloa, Professor of Physics & Astronomy, and a member of OHIO’s Nanoscale […]
