In Greenland, the Ice Doesn't Just Flow, It Quivers and Quakes

Professor Hélène Seroussi is quoted in an article about the results of a study into how ice sheets move. Getting enough measurements is a constant challenge for polar scientists, said Seroussi. "That's why we keep finding all these new principles and mechanisms that seem relatively fundamental. Each time you have a new observation, a new ice core, a new way of measuring, you learn something new."

Small Ways to Spark Joy in Your Teaching

Professor Eugene Korsunskiy is featured in an article about the false dichotomy that having fun and feeling joy are at odds with doing serious, rigorous work. The article points out that joy actually has cognitive benefits that support creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork. "Joyful learning environments," Korsunskiy said, "help students thrive."

Dartmouth Students Help Lebanon Plan for E-Bike Chargers

A team of Dartmouth engineering students—Avery Moorhead '25, Nathan McAllister '25, Gannon Forsberg '25, and Grace Connolly '25—are helping bring public electric bicycle charging to Lebanon. "It's also great to see your work in a tangible sense given that it's a local project, where many of the projects aren't local so you might never see any result of your work," Moorhead said.

NIH Grant Supports New Tools for Neuroscience

Professor Hui Fang's research group was awarded $2.6M over five years from NIH to develop and optimize a new type of microelectrode array probe used for parallel neuromodulator sensing and electrophysiological recording. "Refining and validating this type of probe would directly enable numerous studies in both basic and translational neuroscience, would be applicable to many other devices, such as DBS and sEEG electrodes, and would also bring the technology a significant step closer to commercial manufacturing," said Fang.

Silicon for the Quantum Defect Era

Research associates Yihuang Xiong and Jiongzhi Zheng, PhD student Shay McBride, and Professor Geoffroy Hautier are co-authors of "Computationally Driven Discovery of T Center-like Quantum Defects in Silicon" published in Journal of the American Chemical Society. "Finding new 'quantum defects' facilitates bringing quantum technologies to real world scalable technologies." says Hautier. Adds Xiong, "Our study identifies several silicon defects that were overlooked before the quantum defect era and proposes high-yield synthesis routes."
