COLLEGE STATION — Einstein’s self-proclaimed “biggest blunder” — his postulation of a cosmological constant (a force that opposes gravity and keeps the Universe from collapsing) — may not be such a blunder after all, according to the research of an international team of scientists that includes two Texas A&M University researchers. The team is working […]
COLLEGE STATION — Just as he has for most of the last 30 years, Texas A&M University astronomer Dr. Nicholas B. Suntzeff spent the past week watching the night sky. His obsession in this particular case was a comet — particular, more precisely, because he didn’t need a telescope. In likely the biggest surprise in […]
COLLEGE STATION — Texas A&M University physicists Dmitry S. Pestov and Dr. Alexei V. Sokolov have been selected as the inaugural recipients of the Robert S.

COLLEGE STATION — Super magnets may reveal some of the universe’s super secrets, a researcher said Monday during the first session of the 2006 Mitchell Symposium on Astronomy, Cosmology and Fundamental Physics at Texas A&M University. The annual conference brings together many of the world’s top scientists in the fields of physics, astronomy, cosmology and […]
COLLEGE STATION — While most people are taught at a young age to be careful not to break things, Saskia Mioduszewski’s fundamental research in nuclear physics depends on it. In her case, “things” are atomic nuclei, which hold the secrets to understanding what matter is made of. Mioduszewski, an assistant professor of physics at Texas […]
COLLEGE STATION — Texas A&M University Professors Olga Kocharovskaya, Wayne M. Saslow, Sherry J. Yennello and M. Suhail Zubairy have been elected as 2005 Fellows of the American Physical Society.
