WHAT DID THE 2010 EARLY CAREER AWARD ALLOW YOU TO DO? Dark matter makes up most of the mass of the universe. It is believed to be made up of a yet-to-be-discovered stable, heavy particle that interacts very weakly with ordinary matter. There is an intense search worldwide to directly detect this particle using a […]
Texas A&M University and The Association of Former Students have selected 24 outstanding members of the university’s faculty and staff to be honored with 2020 Distinguished Achievement Awards. The university-level Distinguished Achievement Awards were first presented in 1955 and have since been awarded to more than 1,000 professionals who have exhibited the highest standards of […]
Carbon, known universally as the basic building block of life, is generally thought by scientists to have formed inside the cores of stars. Now, an experimental apparatus designed by scientists at Texas A&M University is playing a major, first-of-its-kind role in a collaboration to test whether or not the element could have been produced under […]

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. […]
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 […]
In a constant push for the smaller and faster computer memory devices, Dr. Artem G. Abanov and fellow researchers turned to the topologically nontrivial configurations of magnetization in magnetic films. Read the full article here: https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.99.054430
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 […]
