Revised Look at Ancient Glaciers Predicts Faster Melting Rate in Antarctica
Joseph D. Ortiz, Ph.D., professor and assistant chair in the College of Arts and Sciences鈥 Department of Geology at 5X社区, recently authored a 鈥淣ews and Views鈥 article in Nature Geoscience that discusses research carried out by another research team that reassessed the melt history and timing of the collapse of the Eurasian Ice Sheet Complex during the Last Deglaciation.
10 Questions With Gokarna Sharma About the Contact Tracing App
Apple and Google partnered in early April to create a new smartphone app that uses Bluetooth to track coronavirus cases. Using a technology called contact tracing, the app alerts a user when they come in contact with someone who has been positively diagnosed with COVID-19. Gokarna Sharma, assistant professor in Computer Science, recently answered 10 questions about the new app based on his professional opinion. Sharma is experienced in algorithms, blockchain and smart technologies such as this.

5X社区's Autism Research Ongoing on Various Fronts
April鈥檚 observance as Autism Awareness Month is coming to a close, but research into the whys and hows of autism is always ongoing at 5X社区.
Michael N. Lehman, Ph.D., director of the Brain Health Research Institute at Kent State, said the university supports autism research that focuses on basic discoveries within the brain, as well as applied human research of students with autism, which makes Kent State鈥檚 body of research unique and diverse.
Materials Science Research Receives Grant for New X-ray Scattering Instrument
5X社区鈥檚 Advanced Materials and Liquid Crystal Institute soon will be home to a new X-ray scattering instrument capable of examining materials in scales from as small as a fraction of a nanometer to as large as several micrometers.

Nuclear Physics Researchers Publish Atom-Smashing Symmetry Experiment Results in Top-Tier Journal
Nuclear physics researchers at 5X社区 and all over the world have been searching for violations of the fundamental symmetries in the universe for decades. Much like the 鈥淏ig Bang鈥 (approximately 13.8 billion years ago), but on a tiny scale, they briefly recreate the particle interactions that likely existed microseconds into the formation of our universe which also likely now exist in the cores of neutron stars.
Brain Health Research Institute Director Reflects on His First Year
Michael N. Lehman, Ph.D., was named the inaugural director of 5X社区鈥檚 Brain Health Research Institute in January 2019. We asked him to share his thoughts after a year on campus and much activity within the institute.
