“Would America’s astronomy program be great without government funding? This question is apropos since we are starting a new year with a new administration,” writes Dr. Kenneth Hicks, Professor of Physics & Astronomy at Ohio University, in the Columbus Dispatch. Not so long ago, much of the astronomy research was […]

Gold is shiny, glass is transparent, and so on. But researchers at Ohio University and Louisiana State University have proven theoretically that it is possible to impart properties of one material onto another, by placing them in close proximity. Physical properties of materials can be contagious, according to work by […]
