Prediction and Design of Protein Polymer Phase Behavior at the Sequence Level

Ashutosh Chilkoti, Duke UniversityFelipe Garcia Quiroz, Duke University
In their recent publication in Nature Materials, Research Triangle MRSEC professor Ashutosh Chilkoti and graduate fellow Felipe Garcia Quiroz created test motifs to identify the amino acid sequences that determine phase behavior in proteins. They demonstrate that proteins can be designed to exhibit tunable phase transitions, allowing significant control over assembly and disassembly processes.

In a paper published in Nature Materials, researchers from North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill show that magnetic nanoparticles encased in oily liquid shells can bind together in water, much like sand particles mixed with the right amount of water can form sandcastles.

Approaching a Two-Dimensional (2D) Metallic State on the Surface of the Organic Semiconductor Rubrene

Dan Frisbie, Chris Leighton University of Minnesota
Whether metallic behavior can exist in 2D materials is a question that has troubled condensed matter physics for decades. Although originally thought impossible, evidence for such in ultra-clean high-purity doped inorganic semiconductor heterostructures based on materials such as Si and GaAs eventually changed the prevailing view.

Controlling Heat

Hyungyu Jin, Oscar D. Restrepo, Nikolas Antolin, Stephen R. Boona, Wolfgang Windl, Roberto C. Myers and Joseph P. Heremans, The Ohio State University
Researchers at OSU's Center for Emergent Materials have discovered that in semiconductors, specifically Indium Antimonide (InSb), heat can be controlled magnetically, given a sufficiently large magnetic field.

Wafer scale integration of 2D Materials

Roland Kawakami, David McComb, Ezekiel Johnston-Halperin, The Ohio State University
Researchers at OSU's Center for Emergent Materials have established a novel route for growing precise layers of optoelectronic 2D materials directly onto wafers commonly used by the semiconductor industry. This route combines the epitaxial growth of a crystalling precursor lattice (CaGe2) with its conversion into a layered 2D material (GeH) phase.

Nanoscience Vlog – a New Way to Communicate P-SPINS Research

Axel Enders, Krista Adams, and Jocelyn Bosley (Nebraska MRSEC)
During the summer of 2015, Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) participant Courtney Matulka of Millard Public Schools together with Seed Project leader Krista Adams and Professor-Student Pairs participant Sharmin Sikich of Doane College developed a video blog, or “vlog,” to highlight the cutting-edge research happening in the nanosciences at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL). Working with Nebraska MRSEC Education/Outreach Director Axel Enders, Matulka interviewed and filmed Nebraska MRSEC faculty and Professor-Student
