Science outreach event at a school

Join us for one of our upcoming Physics events!

We host colloquia, seminars and a number of outreach events.


Probing Cosmic Structure Evolution with Galaxy Clusters

116 Weniger

Speaker: Prof. Heidi Wu, Boise State University

Abstract: Our understanding of the Universe is at a critical juncture. For decades, the standard model of cosmology based on general relativity, dark matter, and dark energy (ɅCDM) has passed many experimental tests. However, the recently emerged S8 tension — the discrepancy… Read more


Chemical Bonding? Playing catch with electrons!

116 Weniger

Speaker: Prof. John F. Wager, Oregon State Univsersity, School of EECS

Abstract: Quantum mechanical electron tunneling is proposed as the mediator of chemical bonding. Covalent, polar covalent, ionic, and hydrogen bonds all rely on quantum mechanical tunneling, but the nature of tunneling differs for each bond type. Covalent bonding involves… Read more


New Direct Electron Imaging Techniques for Quantum Materials

116 Weniger Hall

Speaker: Prof. Kayla Nguyen, University of Oregon, Physics

Abstract: The advent of electron microscopy has revolutionized materials discovery. However, one of the main barriers is the cost of expensive aberration correcting lenses for atom-by-atom imaging.
