Arkansas Laserbacks Student Chapter

For those interested in a career in industry upon graduation, please consider coming to see our visiting speaker, Arlene Smith's, talk on transitioning from academia to industry. She has successfully completed this transition herself, so will be a great resource for any students who hope to one day make the same move. Don't miss this chance to take advantage of a great resource provided by the Laserbacks through OSA. We look forward to seeing you there Monday, April 23rd at 12:30 in PHYS 134. Lunch will be provided, if that helps get you excited more than career development.

The Laserbacks visited the Siloam Springs High School science club after school one afternoon to give students a chance to build their own spectrometers and play with a real commercial spectrometer, which was graciously provided by Ocean Optics.

The Laserbacks brought some fun physics demonstrations of light, sound, and waves in general to the library for a youth event. Thanks to Aida Sheibani for taking the higher quality photos!

A nice application of plasmonic nanostructures that could save a significant amount of money in heating costs.

Passive solar windows heat up in cold weather Researchers have developed a way to transform ordinary windows into solar-powered heaters that use the sun's energy to increase the window temperature by up to 8 K (nearly 15 °F) in cold weather. The researchers expect that the new solar thermal surfaces will lead to significant energy savings throu...
