Professor Laura Finzi named American Physical Society Fellow
The American Physical Society has named Emory biophysicist Laura Finzi as one of its 2023 Fellows, a distinction given to researchers who have made significant contributions to the application of physics to science and technology and advanced physics through original research. The APS honors only about half of a percent of its members with the Fellows distinction.…
Assistant Professor (tenure-track) in Experimental Condensed Matter or Optics
The Department of Physics at Emory University invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in experimental condensed matter physics or optics, broadly defined, to begin in fall 2024. We are particularly interested in candidates who demonstrate creativity in their research field and would benefit from and complement the existing strengths of the Department and…
Prof. Justin C. Burton receives $1.25 million Moore Foundation Award
The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation has awarded a $1.25 million Physics Investigators Initiative grant to Justin C. Burton, an associate professor of physics at Emory University. The grant will cover the next five years of Burton’s investigation in advancing the scientific frontier in experimental physics. Burton’s investigative research works to bridge the communication gap between geoscientists and…

Physicists open new path to an exotic form of superconductivity
Emory Physicists have identified a mechanism for the formation of oscillating superconductivity known as pair-density waves. Physical Review Letters published the discovery, which provides new insight into an unconventional, superconductive state seen in certain materials, including high-temperature superconductors. “We discovered that structures known as Van Hove singularities can produce modulating, oscillating states of superconductivity,” says…
How three proteins interact to fine-tune cellular movement
A single human cell teems with as many 100,000 different proteins. Actin is one of the most abundant and essential of them all. This protein forms into filaments that help make up the skeleton of cells, giving them shape. And as the actin filaments elongate, they work like muscles, pushing against the inner membrane of…
