Avulsions are natural but rare phenomena that occur when a river abruptly jumps course and forges a new river channel. Sometimes caused by large floods, avulsions can have devastating effects on communities while, at the same time, creating fertile deltas that have nurtured others. To gain a...Tulane University professor Michael Mislove has received a $3.67 million grant from the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research to help develop cutting-edge technology related to quantum computing. The goal of the project is to develop tools and related methodologies for designing and...
During the School of Science and Engineering (SSE) Board of Advisors meeting on Friday, Dec. 8, in the Lavin-Bernick Center, former SSE dean Nick Altiero waited in anticipation to view his official portrait, which was painted to commemorate his innovative approach for integrating science and...
After creating eroded copper particles, Jeremy Wright, a doctoral candidate working in the lab of professor Brian Mitchell in the Tulane Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, transfers the particles for analysis to determine if nanoparticles are present. The nanoparticles will...
