2020 Highlights

A five-day STEM Extension program in July 2017 provided ten blind or low-vision college-bound students with a full-access experience in college chemistry and physics labs as part of Summer Academy,

The annual MRSEC student survey (with 57 respondents) highlighted several areas of interest, including science communication (70%), networking with industry (65%), interviewing for jobs (72%) and m

Systems that exhibit phase competition, order parameter coexistence, and emergent order parameter topologies consti

The design of new or enhanced functionality in materials is traditionally viewed as requiring the discovery of new chemical compositions through synthesis.

Enzymatic catalysis is essential to cell survival.

The H₂O₂ powered bimetallic micromotors can respond to shear flow and exhibit rheotactic behavior.

We synthesized nanoporous magnetic metalattices by high pressure confined chemical vapor deposition of nickel into silica sphere nanotemplates.

Vanadium dioxide (VO₂) nanostructures that exhibit a switchable metal-insulator transition are difficult to synthesize in solution, in part because there are several closely related VOx 

Microscale photoresist posts were used to concentrate the electric field gradient generated by a vertically applied AC electric field.
