An iPhone Helped Shyamsundar Solve a Nanoparticle Mystery
Nivedita Shyamsundar studies tiny particles that could help medicines and vaccines more effectively travel through the human body and reach their targets. Her work may one day lead to better cancer treatments and stronger vaccines.
CMU Physicists Take Hall Effect in a New Direction
Carnegie Mellon University scientists have uncovered a new phenomenon that challenges a long-standing assumption about how electronic materials respond to magnetic fields. The discovery broadens the fundamental understanding of the Hall effect, a principle widely used to measure the magnetic and electronic properties of materials.
Rare Stellar Explosion Gives Astronomers a Front-Row Seat to a Massive Star’s Death
A rare stellar explosion has allowed astronomers to follow the death of a massive star from start to finish, yielding one of the most complete datasets ever collected for such an event. The explosion is only the second case in more than 20 years in which researchers have been able to track a massive star's demise with such clarity, offering new insights into the diverse ways these stars end their lives.
Powering the Future of Cosmology With AI
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University are partnering with colleagues at the University of Washington and the U.S. Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory on a new Genesis Mission-funded project to help scientists use artificial intelligence to better understand the universe.
