Collaborations

• 

  ASTRO

  This collaboration’s activities range from telescopic observations of asteroids in our solar system to the analysis of the absorption of supernovae radiation by distant galaxies.

• NDeRC Genetics

  This is a new collaboration.

• 

  BioEYES

  This collaboration brings the study of zebrafish embryonic development to local schools. Anita Beebe (Notre Dame, BioEYES Educator) collaborates with 70 area K-12 teachers to bring the week-long BioEYES activity to 180 classrooms (4000 students).

• 

  Cellular Biology

  This collaboration studies cytoskeletal proteins that interact with microtubules and membranes within living cells.

• 

  Particle Physics

  This collaboration is preparing for data collection at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, Switzerland, in 2009. They have been studying computer-simulated collisions in the Compact Muon Solenoid detector to determine the search criteria for very rarely produced particles.

• 

  Robotics

  This collaboration has been combining Wii remotes, Bluetooth communication devices and Vex Robotics kits to design and build robots that can survey and navigate landscapes.

• ENVIRO

  This collaboration investigates the protection of wellheads and the interaction of people with their environment.

• NANO

  This collaboration simulates, designs, assembles and images structures at the nanometer scale.
