Through creative experiments, they carefully consider what it means to be narrowed within the scope of a sociological 鈥減roblem,鈥� all while trying to expand.
Sophia Domokos
CASSophia Domokos, Ph.D., assistant professor of physics, published a paper, in the Journal of High Energy Physics, the highest-ranked journal in this field of study, on December 9, 2022. The paper, co-authored with Andrew B. Royston of Penn State - Fayette, closes a 20-year gap in the literature surrounding a very commonly used and well-studied system in string theory and paves the way for the study of special mathematical objects called "solitons" in this system.
