Similar low-impact approaches are used in ice flow and climate research, including remote sensing, photography, and observational fieldwork of ice flows and glacier dynamics.

In a recent talk at the Physics and Astro Tea,聽C谩rdenas-Avenda帽o shared the historical development of this problem, starting with Isaac Newton’s deterministic laws of motion and moving through the n-body problem, a generalized question about the long-term motions of gravitationally attracted objects. This problem famously has no analytical solution and must be done computationally.

So is the solar system stable? Will any planets suddenly be ejected? The best current answer is聽maybe, but not during our lifetime.

Squire is currently a threat intelligence researcher for F-Secure, a Finnish company specializing in cyber security and privacy. Under the theme of “everything is always changing all the time”, Squire said that in her workplace, AI tools are not optional; they are a “power up” that can increase individual productivity several times over.

However, those “AI tools are kinda problematic and also kinda good”, and there is a lot of gray area of what is ethical or even authentic. Squire encouraged students to find ways to protect themselves, their identities, and their value as they graduate and enter the job market.

Associate Professor of Physics Martin Kamela spoke to a Physics & Astro Tea audience about the singing, whistling, squeaking and barking sounds that some sands can make. Researchers have found that, in order to make these sounds, sand granules need to be nearly spherical, small, and nearly uniform in size. These sounds seem to come from the friction between granules arranged in slip planes and are unrelated to other surface effects.

But sound is not the only trip up sand’s sleeve. Like some other granular materials, the empty volume between granules of sand will expand under shear deformation, explaining why sand seems to dry out when it is stepped on.

In a panel discussion led by Professor of Astrophysics Tony Crider, Associate Professor of Astrophysics Chris Richardson, Morgan Micharski, Cayden Tirak and Jonathan Berkson shared reflections from their time at the national conference. Discussion topics ranged from announcements of聽cutting-edge research, the tenor of academics and researchers under the current state of science funding and policies, and the experience of presenting scholarly work on a national stage.

Basu Zych became interested in astronomy at a young age at went to the University of California at Berkeley, but found herself burned out by the time she graduated. She spent time working at a telecommunications company before finding a job as a docent at a science museum. While at the museum, she was motivated to study for the physics subject GRE and apply to graduate school at Columbia University, where she graduated in 2009.

Basu-Zych left graduate school for a three-year post-doctoral position at NASA and another four-year stint on soft money, a type of external-grant funded position. Basu-Zych currently has a joint appointment with NASA-Goddard and the University of Maryland-Baltimore County, primarily working on聽multi-wavelength studies of starburst galaxies over the history of the universe. She collaborates with Associate Professor of Physics Chris Richardson and was able to spend several days at 黑料不打烊 in late October meeting with classes and research students.

Kowaleski is part of the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory (TUNL), a partnership between UNC-Chapel Hill, Duke University, and North Carolina State University. Kowaleski and his colleagues use a particle accelerator to create gamma rays aimed at a variety of germanium isotopes. When hit with the gamma rays, germanium nuclei become excited and decay in a one-step “elastic” or two-step “inelastic” process. Emissions from the decay provide evidence about the structure of the nucleus and its stability.

To study this movement, Marshall and his research group use a fast single particle tracking optical system to observe molecules in poroelastic gels, which are easily controllable analogs to cartilage.

In media where molecules are free to travel, they move randomly in all directions. In poroelastic gels, where molecules are contained in small volumes, molecules predictably move much less. However, Marshall and his group found that when the gel is deformed, molecular movement increases a small amount.

Hutchens’ work relies on data from three different galaxy evolution surveys: RESOLVE & ECO, LADUMA, and JWST OutThere. These surveys provide data about the universe ranging in time from the earliest galaxy formations (approximately 12 billion years ago) to the modern era.

Students and collaborators interested in working with Hutchens are encouraged to contact him.

Jaylem Cheek ’27 spent the summer at the Boulder Solar Alliance in Boulder, Colorado. After discussing the process of applying to many highly competitive summer research programs, Cheek shared his work studying the total electron count in the ionosphere above North America from data taken in 2018.

Morgan Micharski ’26 spent the summer at the New Jersey State Museum. Micharski worked in the planetarium and did demonstrations for visitors, like show gas discharge tubes and convection currents. They developed a new demonstration on the curvature of spacetime, which is currently being built by the museum workshop.

Muhammed Tahiru ’27 stayed at 黑料不打烊 this summer to participate in the Summer Undergraduate Research Experience program. He worked with Associate Professor of Physics Martin Kamela to study the behavior of a traveling quantum system as it encounters a small attractive potential well, specifically contrasting it with the behavior of a classical system.
