Nearly 300 postdoctoral researchers and graduate students attended masterclasses on the visual communication of materials science and engineering between October 2013 and January 2014.
Topological superconductors are a distinct form of matter that is predicted to host boundary Majorana fermions. These quasi-particles are the emergent condensed matter analogs of the putative elementary spin-1/2 particles originally proposed by Ettore Majorana in the 1930’s with the intriguing property of being their own
Immucor, Inc., a global leader in transfusion and transplantation diagnostics, has acquired Sentilus, Inc., a company focused on developing a novel, inkjet-printed antibody microarray-based technology called Femtoarrays™.
Terminator 2 is widely remembered for its metal shape-shifting villain. Impervious to bullets, explosives, and fire, theT-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.
Discovery: Magnetic properties of cobalt films can be optimized through nanoscale structuring and thermal annealing.
Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a novel and versatile
Effect: We have demonstrated that the shape of the Hanle
