Students prepare skits to perform at the annual Physics Department retreat. This retreat was held in Schuyler Nebraska. Click on the links below to see some embarrasing video. You probably need to be acquainted with the faculty to get all the humor...
Congratulations to Senior Physics Major Sandra Behncke who has been named the NASA International Year of Astronomy Student Ambassador for Nebraska. 2009 is the International Year of Astronomy, and NASA has selected ambasadors to actively participate in, and help coordinate their own outreach programs within the local community and beyond.
Congratulations to Senior Physics Majors Joseph Brewer and Timothy Smith for their performance on the Modern Physics portion of the Graduate Comprehensive Exam. This exam is held annually and all senior physics majors are eligible to compete for the $1000 award. For 2008, Tim and Joseph tied for the best score and will split the prize. The award was announced at a special reception featuring a large cake on Thursday afternoon. Pictures to follow....
Phosphate glasses have been used in various technological applications. There have been legitimate literatures by experiments showing the structural properties of the phosphate glasses. There are several kinds of phosphate glasses that depend on the ratio of their bridging oxygen, from network of phosphorus pentoxide-P2O5, to chain of metaphosphate-MPO3.
Lipophilic fluorescent dyes have been used to trace neuronal connections because of their ability to diffuse laterally between nerve cell membranes. Given the large number of connections that a typical neuron makes with its neighbors, a diffusion-matched set of spectrally distinct dyes is desirable. Previously, a trio of dyes was developed with well-separated green, red and far red fluorescence emission that permitted triple labeling.
Come enjoy good food and good company. The Creighton Physics Department and Society of Physics Students welcome you to the annual Physnik. Socialize with physics undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and staff while getting free dinner!
