Lens of the Market Research2Innovation Workshop
In
October 2014, RT-MRSEC co-sponsored a “Research2Innovation”
one-day workshop at Duke University, as part of Lens
of the Market,
a three-stage training program to provide scientists and
engineers with the full range of knowledge required for
successful translation of their research into commercial ventures.

Shape-Shifting Liquid Metal Becomes a Reality
Terminator
2 is
widely remembered for its
metal shape-shifting
villain.
Impervious
to
bullets, explosives,
and fire,
the T-1000
robot was
capable of changing shape at will. Researchers at the
North Carolina State University
have taken a step towards
making science fiction a
reality by developing a technique for controlling the surface tension of liquid
metals using very low voltages. This technology paves the way for shape-reconfigurable
metal

Phase Transformations in Binary Colloidal Monolayers
Diffusionless martensitic transformations are a class of solid–solid phase transitions in which the crystal unit cell changes shape and internal structure, while keeping its stoichiometry constant. Because these transformations do not require long-range diffusion, they are fast and repeatable, and thus have been exploited in a number of engineeringapplications.

MRSEC Shared Experimental Facilities Advance Nobelist’s Research
Shuji Nakamura, Solid State Lighting and Energy Electronics Center, University of California, Santa Barbara CA 93106.
The Nobel Prize in Physics 2014 was shared by UCSB Professor Shuji Nakamura "for the invention of efficient blue light-emitting diodes which has enabled bright and energy-saving white light sources".
Professor Nakamura is a major user of the Shared Experimental Facilities of the UCSB MRSEC, co-authoring multiple publications every year that acknowledge the NSF-MRSEC grant number DMR 1121053.

Self-Assembly of Oligomeric Block Copolymer Coatings for Use in Lithographic and Nanopatterning Applications
Marc Hillmyer (IRG-1)
Postdoctoral research associate Li Yao (Hillmyer) has been exploring the self-assembly of oligomeric block copolymer coatings for use in lithographic and nanopatterning applications that push the current resolution limits.
