Earth System Science Center’s lightning research is vital May 24, 2016 Whether it's crackling "heat lightning" above the clouds of a warm north Alabama summer night or the rare roar of thundersnow in a frozen blizzard, lightning is one of Earth's most common weather phenomena. ... Center for Applied Optics an innovator in large optics and nanoscale photonics May 18, 2016 Combining classical optics research with nano and micro devices, the UAH Center for Applied Optics (CAO) continues its 30-plus year legacy as a gateway between industry and academia. Dr. Patrick Reardon, associate CAO director and assistant pr... Bitzer to study lightning that sizzles May 06, 2016 Most cloud-to-ground lightning (about eight of nine events) is actually a rapid series of strikes, pop-pop-pop, each lasting a few hundreds of millionths of a second, too fast for our eyes to separate into individual events. ... National Academy of Sciences elects Dr. Gary Zank as member May 04, 2016 The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) has elected as a member Dr. Gary P. Zank, director of the Center for Space Plasma and Aeronomic Research (CSPAR) at UAH and the chair of UAH's Department of Space Science. ... Second strongest shock wave found in merging galaxy clusters May 04, 2016 The discovery by a physics doctoral student at UAH of the second-strongest merger shock in clusters of galaxies ever observed has generated excitement that is opening doors to further scientific exploration. ... Tracking climate change? Use the daily highs May 02, 2016 Scientists using long-term surface temperature data to track climate change caused by greenhouse gases would be best served using only daily high temperature readings without the nighttime lows, according to new research at UAH. ... UAH scientists use galaxy clusters to measure dark energy’s force Apr 28, 2016 Scientists at UAH have used observations of galaxy clusters to empirically measure the rate at which the universe expands and have concluded that a mysterious force called dark energy acts in a uniform way to speed up the expansion of space. ... Madison County, General Atomics join UAH in tornado early warning research Apr 27, 2016 A new tornado early warning system could result from research at UAH that's being conducted with the help of General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) and supported by $50,000 in seed funding from the Madison County Commission through C... New, fast solar wind propulsion system is aim of NASA, UAH study Apr 11, 2016 Scientists at UAH are set to use computer models to investigate the results of experimental testing at NASA'S Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville to develop an engineering tool to design missions using a new type of long-distance space propu... UAH hosts 2016 Alabama Science and Engineering Fair Apr 08, 2016 The return of spring was once again heralded by the Alabama Science and Engineering Fair (ASEF), which was held from March 31 to April 2 in Spragins Hall on The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) campus.
