Living on a Monopole

Nicholas Ondo with Andrew Tolley Living on a MonopoleThis project aims to explore the proposed idea that our universe could be localized on a Hypermonopole, a generalization of the t'Hooft-Polyakov monopole to 6+1 dimensions. The aim will be to construct analytically and/or numerically the spacetime solution describing a single...

Large Scale Graphene Transistor Arrays

Josh Isaacson with Harsh MathurLarge Scale Graphene Transistor ArraysA fundamental principle of quantum mechanics is that all observables must be represented by hermitian operators. Until recently, it was believed that Quantum Mechanics could not be expressed in any manner, when Carl Bender found that it is possible to relax...

Oxide Semiconductor Nanowire Biosensors

Stephen Fleming with Xuan GaoOxide Semiconductor Nanowire BiosensorsRecently, several physics research groups have demonstrated that nanowire field effect transistors (FETs) can function as sensors to detect extremely low concentrations of biological molecules in solution.  Continued development and improved understanding of these types of sensors is essential for the emergence...
