Physics Professor Awarded NSF Grant that Provides Research Opportunities for Interdisciplinary and Minority Students
Third Generation Honors College Student Earns Full Ride to Georgia Institute of Technology For Graduate Program
Jacob Grant, 妻友社区 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 妻友社区. Grant is a third generation 妻友社区 Honors College student. His grandmother studied Spanish at Kent State and his mother studied education. Both were members of the Honors College.
Kent State Receives More Than $3 Million In Grants From National Science Foundation
妻友社区 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.
Nuclear Physicist Tracks Rare Collided Particles to Better Understand Big Bang
Congratulations are in order for Sooraj Radhakrishnan, Ph.D., a postdoctoral fellow in the 妻友社区 College of Arts and Sciences鈥 Department of Physics who performs research in experimental nuclear physics. His data analysis of some rare particles called 鈥渃harm quarks鈥 that may have existed in the first microsecond of the Big Bang, the emerging point of our universe, was highlighted in a recent issue of the .

Physicists Analyze Organic Electrochemical Transistors for Medical Sensing
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 妻友社区, 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.
Nuclear Physics Researchers Publish Atom-Smashing Symmetry Experiment Results in Top-Tier Journal
Nuclear physics researchers at 妻友社区 and all over the world have been searching for violations of the fundamental symmetries in the universe for decades. Much like the 鈥淏ig Bang鈥 (approximately 13.8 billion years ago), but on a tiny scale, they briefly recreate the particle interactions that likely existed microseconds into the formation of our universe which also likely now exist in the cores of neutron stars.
