The Department of Physics & ENCOMM are hosting the 2003 Physics Nobel Prize Winner Professor Anthony J. Leggett. Professor Leggett has shaped the theoretical understanding of normal and superfluid helium liquids and other strongly coupled superfluids. He set directions for research in the quantum physics of macroscopic dissipative systems...[More]

Researchers at Cornell University, The Ohio State University, and Penn State University recently collaborated to transform an exotic material that normally has no electric or magnetic properties into one that has both at the same time. By doing so, they may have found a basis to form low-power, highly...[More]

In a development that holds potential for both data storage and biomedical imaging, Ohio State researchers have used a new technique to obtain the highest-ever resolution MRI scan of the inside of a magnet. Chris Hammel, Ohio Eminent Scholar in Experimental Physics, and his colleagues took a tiny magnetic disk...[More]

Researchers at Ohio State have demonstrated the first plastic computer memory device that utilizes the spin of electrons to read and write data. An alternative to traditional microelectronics, so-called "spintronics" could store more data in less space, process data faster, and consume less power. In the August 2010 issue of...[More]

Researchers have long known that humans lack a key enzyme -- one possessed by most of the animal kingdom and even plants -- that reverses severe sun damage. For the first time, researchers have witnessed how this enzyme works at the atomic level to repair sun-damaged DNA. The discovery holds...[More]
