91ֿ Receives More Than $3 Million In Grants From National Science Foundation
91ֿ has recently received a flurry of grants totaling more than $3 million in funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF), which will support research and innovation in a wide range of fields within the College of Arts and Sciences.
91ֿ Physics Professor Elected as 2020 Fellow of Prestigious Scientific Society
Jonathan V. Selinger, professor and Ohio Eminent Scholar in 91ֿ’s Department of Physics, in the College of Arts and Sciences, and the Advanced Materials and Liquid Crystal Institute, has been elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the world’s largest general scientific society and publisher of the journal Science.
Graduate Student Creates Smart Glass for Privacy and Heat Applications
Yingfei Jiang, a College of Arts and Science graduate student in the Chemical Physics program and the Advanced Materials and Liquid Crystal Institute at 91ֿ, and his advisor Deng-Ke Yang, Ph.D., a professor in the Department of Physics, have invented the first ever dual-mode smart glass technology that can control both radiant energy flow (heat) and privacy through a tinted material.
NSF Grant Supports 91ֿ Researchers' Plan to Help Students Improve Study Habits
The “C” in “college” might as well stand for “cramming.” Studies show students are notoriously bad at adopting and adhering consistently to high-impact study habits that help them retain knowledge long-term. Researchers and faculty at 91ֿ Un…
NSF Grant Supports 91ֿ Researchers’ Plan to Help Students Improve Study Habits
The “C” in “college” might as well stand for “cramming.”
Studies show students are notoriously bad at adopting and adhering consistently to high-impact study habits that help them retain knowledge long-term.
Researchers and faculty at 91ֿ, however, are collaborating on a new project to put a modern technological twist on a tried-and-true study tactic.
Robin Selinger Elected to APS Board of Directors
On Nov. 15, Physics Professor Robin Selinger, Ph.D., a member of the Advanced Materials and Liquid Crystal Institute in the College of Arts and Sciences at 91ֿ was elected to the American Physical Society (APS) Board of Directors. Her three-year term begins on Jan. 1, 2020. The Am…91ֿ Physicist Joins Inter-Institutional Research Project to Study Light-Driven Materials
91ֿ continues to march in the vanguard of technological advancement. A KSU researcher has joined a cutting-edge collaborative study into light-driven materials. The technology has the potential to replace electric motors unilaterally. The Office of Naval Research awarded a&nbs…
91ֿ Astrophysicist Wins NSF Grant to Search for Exotic Matter in Neutron Stars
91ֿ’s only theoretical astrophysicist just landed a grant that will help her to better understand dense stars while encouraging young female scientists to reach for them. Dr. Veronica Dexheimer, an assistant professor of physics in 91ֿ’s College of Arts and Sciences, rece…
91ֿ Researcher Wins NIH Grant to Fight Cancer at a Molecular Level
Single molecule biophysics sounds complicated because it is. Then again, so is cancer.
So it makes sense that one of 91ֿ's molecular biophysicists would take on the most notorious challenge in medical science.
