Face painting, pumpkin decorating, a haunted house, a costume contest, and a Halloween-themed Jeopardy game were just some of the ways our students found to unwind from midterms while celebrating the spookiest time of the year. On the evening of October 28, the Student Government Events Committee transformed the campus cafeteria into a creepy hall for the annual Carnival of Terror, welcoming over 400 guests–many in costume. Here are some of our favorite photos from the night.

Researchers around the world are working on developing alternatives to traditional energy sources. Predicting the charge transfer process and rate in materials as well as understanding the quantum dynamics of the process can be essential for developing alternative energy. This has been a focused research area of NYU Shanghai Assistant Professor of Chemistry Sun Xiang’s research team. Recently, Sun’s team made a breakthrough by proposing a novel method of calculating the charge transfer rate between electronic states. The study was recently published in The Journal of Chemical Physics, a leading journal in the field.
Sun explained the charge transfer process as a ball bouncing from one point to another, where the ball is the charge and the movement of bouncing creates electricity. "When developing alternative energy,” he said, “it’s essential to know how ‘fast’ electricity can be generated inside certain materials - and that’s the reason why we have to calculate the charge transfer rate."

"We should prevent the concept of the planet from becoming just another placeholder term for globalization and hegemony. Perhaps it is not even correct to think about the planet as a concept related to spatial scales. Instead, one can say: The planet is hidden in every grain of sand. It is the condition of the possibility of human existence in the 21st century."
