Research Update: Studying neutron stars with gravitational waves
Neutron stars are some of the densest objects in the universe, and as such, the conditions at the cores of these extreme objects are impossible to reproduce on Earth. However, we can use data from the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) and the Virgo gravitational wave detector to gain insights into the physics of neutron stars.
ÐÔ¸£ÎåÔÂÌì 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.
Physics professor receives DOE grant to study the quark-gluon plasma
Up until approximately 10^(-5) seconds after the Big Bang, the Universe was is a primordial state of matter called a quark-gluon plasma (QGP). This is due to the fact that the early Universe was extremely hot and in such a hot environment normal matter, e.g., atoms, atomic nuclei, and even neutrons and protons, did not exist.
Physics professor receives NIH grants to study membrane proteins
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) recently awarded a $1.86 million grant to Thorsten-Lars Schmidt, Ph.D., to develop molecular tools that help researchers to understand membrane proteins. As an add-on the NIH awarded Dr. Schmidt an instrumentation grant for a high-end Atomic Force Microscope.
