John Hubisz was interviewed on KMBZ in
Kansas City about security and safety at nuclear research reactors on college
campuses, a piece prompted by the ABC-TV report.
The University’s Open House
was held
at the Talley Student Center on Saturday, October 15th. This year seemed to have had the largest
number of prospective students attending than anytime in recent years. The Physics display was visited quite often,
with more than 100 copies of the recruiting brochure taken by students
expressing an interest in Physics.
Thanks to Matt Corne and Robert Egler for manning the physics
display.

Kudos to Marco
Buongiorno-Nardelli for a very successful workshop on “Nanotechnology for
Energy and Environment", held October 26, 2005 on NC State’s Centennial

concerted effort within NC State to seek Center-level funding in the area
of nanotechnology for energy and environment applications.
