Tulane physicist predicts new particle, implications for universe expansion
For centuries, magnets have challenged the brightest minds. The classical model of physics defines a magnetic field as a dipole, with a north and south pole. Scientists have searched for a monopole, a magnetic particle with only a north or south pole, not both. The discovery of this new particle would unify electromagnetic theory and have far-reaching impacts.
Above the Cleanroom: The Infrastructure Behind Tulane’s Latest Micro/Nanofabrication Facility
Tulane School of Science and Engineering’s new cleanroom and micronano-fabrication facility in Paul Hall is taking shape on the ground level, a deliberate decision for a space where stability matters. But what many people won’t see is that a cleanroom doesn’t begin and end at its walls. It depends on an entire network of infrastructure (air, water, temperature control, humidity control, vacuum, and compressed air) engineered into the building to create a tightly controlled environment for precision work.
From Classroom to Lab Bench: Tulane Senior Bridges Physics and Medicine Through Biopharmaceutical Research
For Tulane University senior Will Hotaling, physics isn’t confined to equations on a chalkboard. It’s a hands-on, interdisciplinary experience that he’s using to help solve real-world challenges in medicine.
When Art Meets Anatomy: Tulane Students Learn to Draw What They Study
Inside Tulane’s Center for Anatomical and Movement Sciences (CAMS), the room is designed for precision and focus. But on this particular day, something unexpected took hold: a long, shared silence. Students leaned over sketchbooks, eyes moving carefully, hands working slowly—learning not just anatomy, but how to see it.
