Kent State University hosts the total eclipse events.
The excitement has been building for more than a year, and the day is finally upon us!
Kent State University Department of Physics hosts eclipse planetarium shows and more.
Join Beth A. Cunningham, Ph.D., a distinguished physicist and Kent State University alumna, as she unravels the mysteries of the cosmos and shares her insights on the latest in space exploration and the scientific wonders of solar eclipses. Ahead of her highly anticipated presentation on the day of the eclipse, this is your chance to explore the universe through the eyes of an expert who stands at the forefront of astronomical discovery and education.

The Kent State University Department of Physics is proud to welcome our newest faculty member, Dr. Zhangbu Xu.
Supported by grant funding from the U.S. Department of Energy, Kent State physics professor Michael Strickland, Ph.D., and his team have developed the world’s leading approach to describe non-equilibrium evolution of highly relativistic systems.
Dr. Michael Strickland's group will participate in a new Topical Theory Collaboration funded by DOE’s Office of Nuclear Physics to explore the behavior of heavy flavor particles. The collaboration will receive $2.5 Million from the DOE Office of Science, Office of Nuclear Physics, over five years. That funding will provide partial support for six graduate students and three postdoctoral fellows at 10 institutions, as well as a senior staff position at one of the national laboratories. It will also establish a bridge junior faculty position at Kent State University.
