📢📢 It is now official:
The Department of Physics will now be the – Department of Physics and Astronomy – !
The change reflects the wide range of research topics covered in the department, from the very small to astronomical scales. ⚛️↔️🔭
⚡Ultrafast #biology at #NCState: Elting’s lab and collaborators reveal how the giant ciliate Spirostomum uses a “fishnet” network for calcium-triggered contraction — 200x faster than the blink of an eye!
Insights could lead to faster artificial muscles.

Congratulations to @XingchengLin on receiving an #NSF CAREER Award! 🎉
Using #AI and physics-based simulations, this project will uncover how epigenetic changes shape DNA organization and gene regulation—advancing our understanding of genome function and human disease.
Congratulations to Charles Henderson for being nominated an #AAAS Fellow!
He was recognized for his distinguished contributions to discipline-based education research in physics and on understanding processes leading to institution-wide instructional change in science education
A major recognition for NC State faculty advancing science and discovery. Congrats to the new AAAS Fellows, including physicist Charles Henderson. 🤩
Learn about the six honorees.

Welcome home, @Astro_Christina! 💫🚀
Alumna Christina Koch and her three Artemis II crewmates splashed down in the Pacific Ocean on Friday, April 10 after a successful and record-setting mission. 👏 She is now the first woman in history to travel the farthest distance from Earth and journey around the moon.

⚾Ever watched a baseball play and thought - how did that just happen?
From bizarre plays to non-intuitive moments, baseball is full of hidden physics.
Join us at the next Science on Tap 🍻, where Prof. Kasey Wagoner will unpack the science behind what you see on the field!
Come join us at the Riddick Hearth at 1 PM to watch the Artemis II lunar flyby together! 🚀🌙
