Dr. David Drabold, Distinguished Professor of Physics & Astronomy at Ohio University, and Visiting Scholar Parth Biswas co-chaired a symposium on Phase Change and Other Chalcogenide Materials at the May 17-21, 2015, joint meeting of Deutsche Glastechnische Gesellschaf of the German Society of Glass Technology (DGG) and the Glass & […]

Dr. Heather Crawford, Adjunct Professor of Physics & Astronomy, and several graduate students traveled to the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State University to participate in an experiment studying the very neutron-rich Carbon isotopes (16,18,20C) by measuring the states populated in proton-knockout reactions from neutron-rich nitrogen. The experiment […]

Dr. Carl Brune, Professor of Physics & Astronomy, authored three chapters in an Ohio Biological Survey publication, Amphibians of Ohio. He is the only non-zoologist among the authors. One of Brune’s hobbies is to study snakes, lizards and other reptiles or amphibians. He can often be found on weekends taking hikes […]

By Lori Price Dr. Carl Brune, a nuclear astrophysicist at Ohio University, talks about “Cosmic Cooking–the Origin of the Elements” on A&S TV’s presentation of Science Café. He begins by quizzing the audience to identify the basic definition of an element, choosing definitions as a basic unit of matter and […]

For the first time, dark matter may have been observed interacting with other dark matter in a way other than through the force of gravity. Observations of colliding galaxies made with ESO’s Very Large Telescope and the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have picked up the first intriguing hints about the […]

 By Jean Andrews Physics & Astronomy Dr. Daniel Phillips, Professor of Physics at Ohio University, co-authored a ground-breaking paper describing how patterns of protons scattered in lab experiments can be explained by examining interactions between the quarks that make up the protons. Phillips and physicists Daris Samart and Carlos Schat […]

 By Jean Andrews Physics & Astronomy Dr. Charlotte Elster, Professor of Physics & Astronomy at Ohio University, is the organizer of “Reactions and Structure of Exotic Nuclei,” a two-week workshop being held March 2-13 at the Institute of Nuclear Theory in Seattle, Washington. Her co-organizers are Dr. W.H. Dickhoff of Washington University […]
