When the temperature of matter approaches absolute zero, a different type of physics takes over. Instead of classical physics — the physics you learned about in high school — quantum physics governs its behavior. For example, helium is typically a gas, but when an isotope of helium is cooled to very low temperatures, it becomes […]
Working at high speed: Associate dean makes mark in 29-year career at FAMU-FSU College of Engineering
Farrukh Alvi thought he’d spend one year, maybe two, in Tallahassee after coming to Florida State University as a postdoctoral researcher in 1993. Now, almost 30 years later, having served as a tenured faculty member, director of the Florida Center for Advanced Aero Propulsion, associate dean for research at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and […]
