Three Ph.D. students in the Department of Physics — all of whom are members of NIU’s team of researchers working on the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), based at the CERN research facility near Geneva, Switzerland — recently have won highly competitive awards. Chad Suhr was awarded a one-year $30,000 fellowship from theArgonne National Laboratory to continue...
A team of NIU scientists, with a major role played by NIU Ph.D. students, has discovered a new, convenient and inexpensive way to make high performance hydrogen sensors using palladium nanowires. The technology could help enable a scale-up for potential industrial applications, such as safety monitors in future hydrogen-powered vehicles. Highly flammable hydrogen gas cannot...
Professor Philippe Piot in the Department of Physics is working on a plan to build a portable device that could be taken to airports, sports stadiums or subway stations to detect radioactive material. A $591,000 grant from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency is funding Piot’s project. The agency’s goal is to help the U.S. Department of...
