September 18, 2015 - In the recent Nano Letters article, an interdisciplinary team of physicists, materials scientists and electrical engineers, including Prof. Nikolic and DPA alumni Dr. Farzad Mahfouzi, have demonstrated novel effect in topological-insulator/ferromagnet (TI/FM) heterostructures exposed to microwave radiation.
September 2, 2015 - In a recent Biophysical Journal article featured on the cover, Prof. Edward Lyman shows a configuration sampled by a molecular dynamics simulation of a mixture of two lipids and cholesterol, modeled in all-atom detail. Read more on the Website of Biophysical Journal.
June 10, 2015 - Prof. Nikolic, who will be working in the Fall as a Visiting Scientist at the Centre de Physique Théorique de Grenoble-Alpes, and colleageus from Spintec and CEA in Grenoble are organizing a Workshop on the emerging research area of Topological Spintronics and Skyrmionics.
May 4, 2015 - For those whose kitchen clocks almost never agree with their nightstand clocks, for those who grouse about forcing their watches to spring forward or fall back, the work University of Delaware physicist Marianna Safronova and other researchers are doing may be nothing short of mystifying.
May 1, 2015 - Most of us know helium as the lighter-than-air gas that puts lift into birthday balloons or makes a baritone's resonant voice sound more like Donald Duck's. But helium -- a non-toxic element that is abundant in the universe but a scarce, non-renewable resource on earth -- has many significant uses in industry, medicine and science.
April 28, 2015 - Jose D'Arruda, Ph.D. 1971, University of Delaware, has received the Outstanding Physics Alumni Award from Lowell Technological Institute, Lowell, Massachusetts. Each spring the Department of Physics and Applied Physics holds an awards banquet, hosted by the Society of Physics Students and the Graduate Physics Association, to honor student award recipients at both the undergraduate and graduate level. At the 2015 banquet in April, Dr. A'Arruda was presented with the Outstanding Physics Alumni Award.
