The College of Science celebrated research, teaching and administrative excellence at its 2017 Fall Faculty and Staff Awards.

Congratulations to Heidi Schellman, physics department head, for being chosen as Chair of Commission 11 of the International Union for Pure and Applied Physics!

Applications are open for Oregon's top academic and professional fellowship program: The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry's OMSI Science Communication Fellowship.

More than a month before a game-changing detection of a short gamma-ray burst – a finding announced today – scientists at Oregon State University predicted such a discovery would occur.

Five faculty, staff and students in the College of Science received OSU's most prestigious annual awards in teaching, advising and administrative service.

New research into the largely unstudied area of heterostructural alloys could lead to better semiconductors, advances in pharmaceuticals and improved metallic glasses for industrial applications.

The Department of Physics hosted an international workshop on the physics and observations of supernovae and other cosmic explosive phenomena.

Physicist Matt Graham was awarded a 2017 SPIE Defense and Commercial Sensing Rising Researcher award, one of only ten scientists recognized across the country.

Thirty-four science majors presented their research at the Celebrating Undergraduate Excellence event sponsored by the Division of Undergraduate Studies.

Bethany Matthews, a physics graduate student, won a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science Graduate Student Research Award.

Congratulations to these 31 students who have received 2017 SURE Science Scholarships!

Materials scientists at Oregon State are working on new energy and environmental applications that will contribute to a healthy planet.
