Matlab can find most plastic balls, but not all of them. Sometimes, other features give false positives. The red circles show the balls the computer detected.

Building a Matlab program to detect microplastics. AI is the perfect tool for identifying particles in water!

Getting the lab ready for classes and eating pizza.

Come for a visit at the SLU department of physics! If you are interested in a BS in Physics, setup an appointment and tour our labs! We would love to show you around! Contact David David Scott Wisbey

Pentaquarks: scientists find new "exotic" configurations of quarks They hope they will help us understand the "strong force" that holds the insides of atoms together.

SLU Wins the Final Four of Collegiate Chess! March Madness🏆🥇♟

SLU Chess: National Champs Saint Louis University is home to the collegiate chess National Champions. The Final Four of Collegiate Chess wrapped up Sunday, April 3, with the Billikens on top. Saint Louis University narrowly edged out Webster University to take home the President’s Cup.

Modern Physics Labs are always a good time at Saint Louis University. Today we were mapping magnetic domains in a peice of sheet metal using a Hall probe.

Congratulations on detecting particles with our cloud chamber!

Imagination is important when thinking about difficult problems in physics!

Summer time is beautiful at St. Louis University! It’s a great day for physics.

Congratulations Dr. Nikolo in getting your work published in the Journal Physical Review B!

Congratulations Dr. Comer for receiving the David F. Gruber Leadership Development Award! The Missouri Conference for the American Association of University Professors (MOAAUP) gives this annual award to an AAUP member who has done exemplary work to promote the values of AAUP in our state. https://www.slu.edu/arts-and-sciences/physics/faculty/comer-greg.php

Greg Comer, Ph.D. A key question is the role of multiple fluid dynamics on the creation and emission of gravitational waves from neutron stars. Is such dynamics detectable by, say, future versions of LIGO? If yes, then novel aspects of the supranuclear equation of state will be revealed (such as entrainment, which me...
