Dr. Sayo Fakayode, chair of Georgia College & State University’s Department of Chemistry, Physics and Astronomy, is pleased to announce the publication of a study he conducted with four other scientists, including two of his research students. The new publication is called “Rapid Screening and Multicomponent Quantifications of Active Components of Oral Syrup Over-the-Counter Medications by Raman and UV-visible Spectroscopy and Multivariate Regression Analysis.” “This article listed...
For National Forensics Week, Georgia College & State University is hosting two science nights filled with information and forensic fun for the community to enjoy—a Science Café Wednesday, Sept. 27, and Forensics Night Thursday, Sept. 28. Dr. Catrena Lisse, director of the university’s Science Education Center, will give an interactive presentation called “Molecules of Murder: A Glimpse into Forensic Chemistry” at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Birdhouse of Blackbird Coffee in Milledgeville...
Due to last year's popularity--Georgia College & State University is making Forensics Night an annual event. This year's 'whodunit' will be 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 28, in Herty Hall, room 354. “Forensics Night” is a chance for campus and community residents to help the university’s bobcat mascot Thunder stop a crime. Open to the public and for all ages, the evening is part of national Forensics Week. This year's mystery involves hands-on experiments in Herty Hall science labs,...

The Department of Chemistry, Physics and Astronomy and the Science Education Center will host a gathering Saturday, Oct. 14, from noon until 3 p.m. to view the partial solar eclipse visible in most of the U.S. A small corridor of the U.S. will see an annular solar eclipse during this event. Join us on front campus to use SunSpotter telescopes and a limited number of solar eclipse glasses.
Dr. Arash Bodaghee, associate professor of Physics and Astronomy, and his Scholar, Cody Cox, '22, published an article in The Astrophysical Journal: the top-rated peer-reviewed journal devoted solely to Astronomy and Astrophysics. Using X-ray observations from NASA's NuSTAR space telescope, Cox and Bodaghee studied a high-mass X-ray binary in which a star several times more massive than the sun is paired with a neutron star (i.e., the remnant core of a massive star after its supernova)...
Joel Saucedo’s head is full of nuclear fusion, clean energy, fractional calculus, radioactive particles—and all that jazz. The jazz part? When he’s not studying physics, he plays saxophone in Georgia College & State University’s Jazz Band. These elements all weave together into a liberal arts education at Georgia College that Saucedo credits for helping him win a prestigious nuclear physics traineeship at Duke University this summer. “This is an environment that's ripe for cultivating...
