Michigan Tech Research Magazine 2010 has three major features on physics research this year. Work done by Alex Kostinski and Raymond Shaw (left), Steven O’Malley and Don Beck (middle), and Ulrich Hansmann (right) constitute the focus of three major articles, reflecting much recent publicity as well as Dr. Hansmann’s 2009 Research Award. Physics major Hansen Nordsiek and his Goldwater Scholarship were mentioned as well in Three Tech Students Win Goldwater Scholarships.
