On Tuesday, Physics & Engineering research students joined with Computer Science research students to attend the first of two seminars on ethical conduct in research. These seminars are being led by Dr. Mark Pearson, Associate Professor of Mathematics, and focus on case studies, both real and fictitious.
A SCIENTIFIC FIRST!!! Evan Pease is measuring the even and odd order distortion signals from a superconducting microwave filter. He is using three input signals with a method being developed exclusively in the Hope College Microwave Lab called 3-tone intermodulationdistortion. This ground breaking research will help to establish the limits of superconductivity in microwave electronics …
On Friday, June 26, Jenny Hampton and her students traveled to Calvin College to use the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) in Kumar Sinnah‘s lab in the Chemistry Department there. Nick Wozniak and Alyssa Frey both took turns at the controls of the AFM. The purpose of the trip was to look at the surface structure …
