By Ryan Flynn NQPI editorial intern One might not think history and physics regularly coincide. However, Distinguished Professor of Physics and Nanoscale and Quantum Phenomena Institute member Dr. David Drabold steeped himself in both this past spring by taking sabbatical at Trinity College in Cambridge, England. While in Cambridge, Drabold met with […]

By Amanda Biederman NQPI editorial intern A new finding from the lab of Physics & Astronomy professor and Nanoscale and Quantum Phenomena Institute member Dr. Martin Kordesch has altered the scientific community’s understanding on the fundamental properties of materials in thermionic cathodes. In a paper published in AIP Advances last June, […]
