Effects of Classroom Acoustical Environments on Student Achievement
Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to let you know that we are having our first meeting this year of the Creighton Society of Physics Students (Physics Club) on Tuesday September 7th at 5:20pm in the physics clubroom across from the department offices! We will talk about what is in store for the upcoming year, club dues, and there will be FREE FOOD AND SODA! Anyone who is interested in physics is welcome to join and I encourage you to come and see what we are all about!
Have a great labor day weekend!

Photo- and Bio-Physical Characterization of Novel Lipophilic Fluorescent Dyes
For Multicolor Neurotracing and Transcellular Lipid Diusion Measurements
Lipophilic Fluorescent dyes are used to trace neuronal connections and probe cellular activities by insertion into and lateral diusion within cell membranes. The photophysical and biophysical properties of two sets of lipophilic Fluorescent dyes were characterized to study: 1) how to increase the number of distinct colors in a single specimen for neurotracing, and 2) how the hydrocarbon chain length aects the mechanism for lipid diusion in living cells. To address these inquiries, fluorescence spectroscopy measurements of a multicolored dye set and diusion measurements in cultured cells of a set of dyes with various hydrocarbon chain lengths were performed. Two-photon excitation action cross sections for the multicolored dye set and their use in designing multicolor imaging protocols will be discussed. Transcellular diusion and FRAP measurements of the chain-variant dye set will be presented and the role of the hydrocarbon chain length on lipid diusion will be explored.
Physics Students, Faculty, and Staff,
Physics Club Meeting

Professor David W. McLaughlin, Professor of Mathematics and Neural Sciences, Provost at NYU, and a 1966 Creighton graduate who was one of the first to complete our Bachelor of Science in Physics degree, will be presenting the Physics Seminar this week on Friday, April 9th, at the usual time: 12:30 p.m. Dr. McLaughlin will be here to receive this year's Alumni Merit Award from the College of Arts and Sciences. His talk is entitled
“Modeling the Dynamics of the Cortex: Spatio-Temporal Cortical Activity”
This spring, the Creighton University Society of Physics Students (CUSPS) will again sponsor Physics Field Day, a day of activities and excitement for high school students. The theme of the 2010 Physics Field Day is Lasers! In celebration of the 50th Anniversery of the Laser. The rulebook can be found here.
Theme by Danetsoft and Danang Probo Sayekti inspired by Maksimer
