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 Amanda Biederman NQPI editorial intern Distinguishing identical twins can be a difficult task at first. Physics & Astronomy professor and Nanoscale and Quantum Phenomena Institute member Nancy Sandler encounters a similar scenario when dealing with seemingly identical carbon atom pairs. Sandler recently authored two papers in Nano Letters that […]

It’s not every week you are given an opportunity to share the latest in nuclear physics research, take time to observe wild pandas in a nature preserve, and admire famous musical instruments from the 5th Century BC. Recently, nuclear physicist Charlotte Elster traveled to south-central China where she presented her research […]

By Dr. Eric Stinaff Nanoscale and Quantum Phenomena Institute Spring 2018 Newsletter Issue 19 Dear Colleagues, Springtime at Ohio University in Athens is a time for new beginnings, and that is certainly the case for NQPI and the Condensed Matter and Surface Sciences program. The arrival of President Duane Nellis […]

Dr. Alexander Govorov, Distinguished Professor of Physics & Astronomy at Ohio University, was quoted in a Materials Today story headlined “Ceramic nanoparticles turn light around.” Nanomaterials whose optical properties change in response to a magnetic field could have a central role in spintronics, magnetooptics, magnetochemisty, and chiral catalysis. But, until […]

Ohio University Physics & Astronomy Associate Professor Julie Roche and Research Assistant Professor Paul King contributed to a 12-year collaborative effort of more than 100 scientists, in an experiment termed “Q-weak,” to provide a precision test of the weak force, one of four fundamental forces in nature. The group’s breakthrough […]

From Compass Three College of Arts & Sciences faculty have been named members of the OHIO Challenging Dialogues for Contemporary Issues Task Force, announced by Ohio University President M. Duane Nellis on April 30. The Task Force has been charged with assessing national and world issues sparking civil discourse and working […]
