Lee, Charles Chang Suk | A demonstration apparatus for optical pumping of rubidium | Optical pumping refers to the use of light in order to elevate ("pump") the spin (intrinsic angular momentum) of an atom or molecule. This process is of interest from a pedagogical and experimental perspective because it encapsulates fundamental properties of atomic physics and quantum mechanics.

Wallace, Joshua J. | Lyman-alpha emission as a probe of galaxy environments | As a result of resonant scatterings off hydrogen atoms, Lya emission from star-forming galaxies provides a potential probe of the neutral gas environment around them. In order to determine the utility of Lya emission as a probe of gas environments we study the effects of environmental anisotropy on ... | Galaxies - Spectra | 2014-05 |

Hales, Laurel | Physics show and tell and elementary science education | It is a well-known fact that American children are performing below their peers in international science and mathematics examinations, leading to what is commonly called the STEM education crisis. This project was created in an attempt to resolve this crisis by improving elementary school science ed... | Science - Study and teaching (Elementary) - United States | 2014-05 |
