Congratulations to Heidi Schellman, physics department head, for being chosen as Chair of Commission 11 of the International Union for Pure and Applied Physics!

Catalyzed by OSU's yearlong arts+science event SPARK, a Harvard scientist purchases a stunning work by an Oregon artist who was in turn inspired by his experiment with bacteria on a giant petri dish.

More than a month before a game-changing detection of a short gamma-ray burst – a finding announced today – scientists at Oregon State University predicted such a discovery would occur.

OSU wins a 2017 WCET Outstanding Work award for groundbreaking, first-of-its kind 3-D Virtual Microscope and online introductory biology course series.

Crayola announces the name of its new blue crayon that was inspired by chemist Mas Subramanian's YInMn blue pigment: It's Bluetiful.

Science faculty received $18.7 million in research grants and awards in FY17, the second highest year since FY2013 and a 54% increase from last year.

The College of Science is delighted to announce a record-breaking total of more than $7.5 million in scholarships awarded for 2017-18 to both current and incoming science students!

The College of Science welcomes its new dean Roy Haggerty, who recently served as Associate Vice President for Research at OSU.

Physicist Matt Graham was awarded a 2017 SPIE Defense and Commercial Sensing Rising Researcher award, one of only ten scientists recognized across the country.

Congratulations to senior chemistry instructor Daniel Myles and biochemistry and biophysics professor Kevin Ahern for winning the very first Oregon State Phi Beta Kappa Society student awards!

A blue pigment discovered at Oregon State University by chemistry professor Mas Subramanian is the inspiration for Crayola's new crayon color.
