Utah MRSEC provided staff and faculty support for a Science Olympiad coaches’ clinic in November 2012, to help science teachers prepare to coach teams.
By fabricating graphene structures atop nanometer-scale “steps” etched into silicon carbide, researchers have for the first time created a substantial electronic bandgap in the material suitable for room-temperature electronics.
Previously unrecognized local rotations in crystals form the basis for a new class of rotational crystal symmetries. These "roto" symmetry elements provide clues for where to find new physical effects in complex oxides.
Low power ultrasound can propel asymmetrically shaped metal particles at speeds up to 100 body lengths per second in water. This is a new class of autonomous micromotors that may be useful in drug delivery and other biomedical applications.
Normalized X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) of an as-grown (blue) and 2.0 V biased (green) LiNbO2 memristor. Five regions are collected across the device where the spectra labeled “1” is closest to the positively biased contact and the spectra labeled “5” is closest to the grounded contact of the device.
The GT MRSEC has expanded its international collaborative graphene research. Five new groups from France and Germany will now participate in the development of graphene electronics.
