- Isotope science to have wide-ranging impact, NSCL researcher says
02-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
Nuclear science -- and a host of other endeavors that involve the production, study and use of rare isotopes -- is undergoing a quiet but dramatic revolution. That's the conclusion of Brad Sherrill, professor of physics at Michigan State University, who says that the relatively new ability to create novel forms of atomic nuclei may be one of the great, underappreciated transformations in the physical sciences today. Sherrill is based at MSU's National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL).

- UW paper in Science shows how some solids mimic liquids on nanoscale
02-01-2008 · EurekAlert!
A University of Waterloo physics and astronomy research team, in a paper to be published Feb. 1 in Science, shows how some solids behave like liquids on the nanoscale. The UW researchers, professor James Forrest and then-graduate student Zahra Fakhraai, take a major step forward in discovering how to measure polymer substances using nanoscale technology. They explore the properties of the large class of natural and synthetic materials on the nanoscale.
