Texas A&M University physicist Rupak Mahapatra has been appointed as director of research engagement for The Texas A&M University System National Laboratories Office (NLO). Shortly after the Texas A&M System became part of the team tasked with managing and operating Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in 2018, Texas A&M System Chancellor John Sharp established the […]
Dr. Clifford H. Spiegelman, distinguished professor of statistics at Texas A&M University, has been designated a Regents Professor for 2018-19 by The Texas A&M University System Board of Regents. Spiegelman, a leader in the field of statistical and environmental forensics, is one of 13 A&M System faculty members who were nominated for the prestigious appointment, […]
Award-winning author and Aggie Loren C. Steffy ’86, former Houston Chronicle business columnist and writer-at-large for Texas Monthly magazine, will visit Texas A&M University this week to deliver a free public lecture and sign copies of his latest book, a biography on 1940 Texas A&M distinguished petroleum engineering graduate, businessman and philanthropist George P. Mitchell. […]
On any given day, particularly during the peak hours of another busy fall semester, the 35,000-square-foot Shell Engineering Foundations Laboratory is a blur of activity, with machines humming and whirring over the din of student chatter as their mechanical arms chart patterns if not the career courses for thousands of future Aggie engineers and scientists. […]
GMTO Corporation, the organization managing the development of the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) on behalf of its U.S. and international founders including Texas A&M University, has signed a contract with MT Mechatronics and Ingersoll Machine Tools to design, build and install the telescope’s precision steel structure. The GMT is a 24.5-meter (80-ft) diameter next-generation giant […]
Texas A&M University System Chancellor John Sharp and Texas A&M University President Michael K. Young will join the Institute for Quantum Science and Engineering (IQSE) this week for a two-day symposium to celebrate Texas A&M Distinguished Professor of Physics and Astronomy and 1996 Nobel Prize winner David M. Lee, recently featured as The Top 100 […]
It’s known as the thinnest material on Earth and one you can find in something as everyday as a pencil: graphene. In 2010, Manchester researchers Andre Geim and Kostya Novoselov won a Nobel Prize in Physics with it just six years after they discovered how to isolate a single atomic layer of it quite unceremoniously – […]
Texas A&M University physicists Tatiana Erukhimova and Saskia Mioduszewski have been elected as 2019 Fellows of the American Physical Society (APS), the world’s largest organization of physicists. No more than one-half of 1 percent of the organization’s current membership is selected by their peers for inclusion in the APS Fellowship Program, which was created to […]

Dr. Ralf Rapp discusses the origin of 98% of the visible mass in the universe in a recent article in Nature Physics. This mass was generated when a hot plasma of quarks and gluons condensed into hadrons in the early Universe. Calculations by Dr. Rapp and collaborators found that the mass of the rho-meson (a […]

The Stella Hotel and the Texas A&M University Department of Physics and Astronomy are teaming up once again to close out summer in signature style with one final free monthly Star Party at The Stella, set for Thursday, August 8, from 9 to 11 p.m., weather permitting. Members of the local community and visitors are […]
An international team of astronomers that includes Texas A&M University’s Benjamin Boizelle and Jonelle Walsh has obtained the clearest view to date of cold gas rotation around a supermassive black hole. Using the National Radio Astronomy Observatory’s Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) — a huge, highly sophisticated radio telescope array situated at an altitude of […]
