Cross-disciplinary research sparks discovery in the face of challenge for Rikard Bodin '20 and Neng Yin '20

This past summer, chemistry and physics double major Rikard Bodin '20 and physics major Neng Yin '20 worked with Physics Prof. Tim Good on plasma research. Together, they upgraded and installed the Pickets Charged Plasma Device-an instrument named after the shape of its picket fence magnetic field, while also drawing upon the history and Pickett's Charge in the Battle of Gettysburg.

Inspired by the X-SIG program, Bodin and Yin are integrating the now-operational device into their individualized research projects as part of their physics capstone experience.
