秋葵视频 Professor and Student鈥檚 Work Featured in Nature
STATESBORO, Ga. 鈥 Feb. 19, 2014 鈥撎 秋葵视频 Physics Professor Mark Edwards, Ph.D., the University Fuller E. Callaway Professorial Chair, and College of Science and Mathematics student Noel Murray, are among the authors of an article featured on the cover of the February issue of听Nature, an international weekly journal of science.
Entitled “Hysteresis in a quantized superfluid ‘atomtronic’ circuit,” the article reports on a collaborative work between the 秋葵视频 theoretical team consisting of Murray and Edwards and a team of experimental researchers at the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI). The JQI is an institute run by the听听(UMD) and the听听(NIST). NIST is a national laboratory run by the U.S. Department of Commerce. The JQI research team consists of Steve Eckel, Jeff Lee, Fred Jendrzejewski, Charles Clark, Chris Lobb, Bill Phillips and Gretchen Campbell. One of the co-authors, Bill Phillips, is a co-winner of the 1997 Physics Nobel Prize.
鈥淚t鈥檚 an honor being so young to already have this accomplishment when I haven鈥檛 even started my physics career yet. I hope that it鈥檚 going to help me get into a good Ph.D school and help me with my career in the future,鈥 said Murray, who is in the joint physics and chemistry Masters of Science in Physical Science degree program.
According to Thomson-Reuters Web of Knowledge database, this is the first听Nature听article with authors having a Georgia Southern affiliation published since 1999, and marks the fourth time in history this has happened. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a great honor for me and primarily due to the collaborators that I worked with at the Joint Quantum Institute,鈥 added Edwards.
Since publication, the article has been featured on numerous science news websites including听Science听Daily,听Physics News,听SciTechDaily听and more. The flagship journal of the Nature Publishing Group,听Nature听is widely regarded as the world’s premier interdisciplinary science journal.
