Aiden C. Berdahl '21 and Nicholas A. Behrens '21 will each receive $5,000 from the Thomas D. Rossing Fund for Physics Education.

Luther College junior Colin Weber of Rochester, Minnesota, has been awarded a $5,000 Rossing Physics Scholarship for the 2019-20 academic year. The Rossing scholarship is awarded annually to physics students of exceptional merit through the Thomas D. Rossing Fund for Physics Education.

The Luther College physics and chemistry departments invite community members to experience optical illusions and laser displays, make rockets and enjoy the mystifying side of science during a Haunted Lab from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 26, and 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 27.

Midwesterners think they are all too familiar with ice this time but year, but is there more to ice than just the freezing of water? Luther College Professor Emeritus of Physics Dennis Barnaal will go into depth on the fascinating aspects of ice at 3 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 11, in the Mott Room of Dahl Centennial Union as part of the Luther Emeriti Colloquium series.

Quarks are among the smallest things that science has discovered, shown experimentally to be about a million billion times smaller than a grain of sand. Joshua Jackson, Luther College senior of East Dubuque, Illinois, is researching the physics of quarks and the forces which bind them together into composite objects for his summer research project at the college.

Quarks are the smallest things that science has discovered, shown experimentally to be about a million billion times smaller than a grain of sand. Zach Martin, Luther College junior of Boone, Iowa, is researching the physics of quarks and the forces by which they interact for his summer research project at the college.
