Physicist Awarded NASA Grant to Model One of the Cosmos’ Most Extreme Events
Eric Coughlin, professor of physics in the College of Arts and Sciences, was recently awarded a grant from NASA for his project entitled, “Extragalactic Outbursts and Repeating Nuclear Flares From Tidal Disruption Events.” The three-year, $346,000 award will support his…
5 NSF Grants Fund Syracuse University Researchers’ Work With Cosmic Explorer
Billions of years ago in a distant galaxy, two black holes collided sparking one of the universe’s most extreme cosmic events. The occurrence was so powerful that it bent the fabric of spacetime, sending out ripples called gravitational waves. These…
Viewing a Microcosm Through a Physics Lens
“What can physics offer biology?” This was how Alison Patteson, assistant professor in the College of Arts and Sciences’ physics department and a faculty member in the BioInspired Institute, began the explanation of why her physics lab was studying bacteria. In…
Arts and Sciences’ Physicists Part of Cosmic Explorer Project Deemed ‘Crucial’ by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine
Physicists from the College of Arts and Sciences’ (A&S’) Gravitational-Wave Group are at the leading edge of exploring the universe with gravitational waves. From designing and building gravitational-wave observatories to studying the science of current detections from the Laser Interferometer…
