A team of physicists from the University of South Florida and the University of Kentucky have taken a big step toward the development of practical spintronics devices, a technology that could help create faster, smaller and more versatile electronic devices. ..
Read More ⇒Emily Hyatt, an engineering physics undergraduate student at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, has won first prize in magnetospheric physics in a student research contest sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Community Coordinate Modeling Center, which conducts research in space science and develops new space weather models. ..

Read More ⇒Hydrogen fuel cells, like those found in some “green” vehicles, have a lot of promise as an alternative fuel source, but making them practical on a large scale requires them to be more efficient and cost effective. A research team from the University of Central Florida may have found a way around both hurdles. ..
Read More ⇒For more than five decades, Florida State University has been home to one of the nation’s most respected programs in experimental nuclear physics. Now, that program has received a major vote of confidence from the National Science Foundation in the form of a $5 million grant to fund ongoing research into some of the fundamental properties of matter. ..
Read More ⇒A new and better way to observe how high speed, powerful shock waves move through solids — and how the solids consequently respond — has been developed. ..
Read More ⇒Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics, in a paper submitted to Physical Review Letters are suggesting an experiment that could actually demonstrate this phenomenon on a much larger scale – in this case, a glass sphere that’s millions of atoms large. ..
Read More ⇒Sometimes, you have to go back to go forward. Sounds strange, but it's what one National High Magnetic Field Laboratory physicist did when he harnessed the primal power of the sun to solve a perplexing, high-tech problem. And he had two unlikely candidates as his helpers: a rural elementary-school teacher and a college undergrad. ..
Read More ⇒Three Florida State University physics researchers join more than a dozen other Florida State faculty as fellows of the American Physical Society. The APS is the nation's largest and most prestigious professional society dedicated to the advancement of physics research and knowledge, and only one-half of one percent of its members are named Fellows each year. ..
