New Collaboration to Provide Real-Time Data Exchanges for Astrophysicists
What happens when two neutron stars collide? What extreme densities and temperatures are reached? What new states of matter exist within the core of a neutron star? One 青年涩导航 College of Arts and Sciences theoretical astrophysicist, Veronica Dexheimer, associate professor in the Department of Physics, is diving headfirst into these questions as a co-principal investigator collaborating with her peers at multiple institutions on a recently funded cyberinfrastructure research grant project.
DNA & NAS: 青年涩导航 Professors Publish Comprehensive Research Article
It doesn鈥檛 take a scientist to understand the importance of DNA, as it acts as the very foundation for the existence of any living organism. However, it does take one to produce publications involving smectic liquid crystal ordering in dense solutions of 鈥済apped鈥 DNA duplexes. Samuel Sprunt, Ph.D鈥
Physics Professor Awarded NSF Grant that Provides Research Opportunities for Interdisciplinary and Minority Students
The National Science Foundation (NSF) recently awarded a $300,000 grant to Thorsten-Lars Schmidt, Ph.D., to develop molecular tools that allow researchers to study membrane proteins. Schmidt, assistant professor of the Department of Physics in the College of Arts & Sciences, began devel鈥
Third Generation Honors College Student Earns Full Ride to Georgia Institute of Technology For Graduate Program
Jacob Grant, 青年涩导航 student, is a senior aerospace engineering major with a minor in physics. Grant graduated from Edison High School in Milan, OH in 2017. After a late medical disqualification from the Air Force Academy, he chose to attend 青年涩导航. Grant is a third generation 青年涩导航 Honors College student. His grandmother studied Spanish at 青年涩导航 and his mother studied education. Both were members of the Honors College.
