While many people flock to warm destinations for spring break, two RIT experimental cosmologists spent theirs 6,800 feet high on snow-covered Kitt Peak at the Arizona Radio Observatory. They were deploying an instrument to a 12-meter telescope for a project called the Tomographic Ionized-carbon Mapping Experiment (TIME), which aims to study the universe’s first stars and galaxies.

R&D Magazine talks to Mishkat Bhattacharya, associate professor of physics, about his research to create a laser for sound.

A revolutionary technique developed by NTID astrophysicist Jason Nordhaus could allow for a better understanding of the fates of solar systems when their stars cease to shine.

RIT researcher Mishkat Bhattacharya is building a theoretical framework to predict how nanoparticles made of graphene, silica and rare-earth compounds behave when suspended within the center of a laser beam.

Six RIT graduate programs are among the best in the nation, with several on the rise according to U.S. News & World Report’s 2019 edition of America’s Best Graduate Schools.

Research conducted by Mishkat Bhattacharya, a theoretical physicist, is advancing a new kind of sensing technology that captures data with better precision than currently possible and promises cheaper, smaller and lighter sensor designs.
