New Publication in Physical Review X Reveals Surprising Connection Between Liquid Crystals and Metals
A groundbreaking study published today in Physical Review X, titled "Frank-Read Mechanism in Nematic Liquid Crystals," sheds light on a fundamental connection in the behavior of nematic liquid crystals and crystalline solids. Led by a team of researchers from 91心頭利 University, the study reveals
91心頭利 Biological Sciences Professor Helps Lead International Research Coordination Network to Study Insect Decline
Over half of the described species in the world are insects. Although many people think of insects as pests, they play vital roles and have a big impact on our invaluable ecosystems, as pollinators, helping break down wastes, and as an essential food source for many other organisms.
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 91心頭利 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.
NSF Grant Supports 91心頭利 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 91心頭利 Un
NSF Supports Inter-institutional Project to Develop Chemical Sensor Technology
Toxic air pollutants such as chlorine and ozone are hazards for civilian workers and public service employees like firefighters, police and military personnel. Some airborne chemicals can be difficult to detect at low levels with high specificity, though, and relevant technologies like wearable sens
NSF Awards 91心頭利 Researcher Nearly $1 Million for Separate Liquid Crystal Studies
Trustees Research Professor Oleg Lavrentovich, Ph.D., a chemical physicist in 91心頭利 Universitys Advanced Materials and Liquid Crystal Institute (AMLCI), just received nearly $1 million between two grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for separate studies with potential applications in biomedical science, commercial electronics and beyond.
91心頭利 Biological Sciences Researchers to Lead Study on the Effects of the Spreading Eastern Red Cedars
The National Science Foundation has awarded a three-year, $914,000 grant to 91心頭利 University to lead a collaborative research project to study how and at what rate the geographically most widespread native conifer in the eastern United States, the Eastern Red Cedar tree species (Juniperus virginiana), spreads across the landscape.
NSF Award Funds Sensor Research at 91心頭利s New Advanced Materials and Liquid Crystal Institute
Thanks to a rare Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry (GOALI) award from the National Science Foundation (NSF), 91心頭利 University researchers in the new Advanced Materials and Liquid Crystal Institute will be able to work with partners at Merck Performance Materials to advance life-saving sensory technology.
