Published: 06/01/2015

The Department of Physics, in conjunction with Wittenberg University, hosted the 14th Workshop on the Physics of Dusty Plasmas. The workshop was held at the Hotel at Auburn University and Dixon Conference Center and featured plasma physics experts from around the world. Topics covered during the workshop included the basic physics of dusty plasmas, astrophysical and atmospheric dusty plasmas, laboratory and microgravity dusty plasma experiments, magnetized dusty plasmas, theoretical and computational studies of dusty plasmas, dusty plasmas as model systems, and applications of dusty plasmas in industry and research. Participants were also invited to tour the new Magnet Lab at Auburn University, which is a one-of-a-kind facility featuring a 6,000-pound superconducting magnet, the only one of its kind in the world.
