MSE Seminar: “VdW Heterostructures: A New Route to Designing Quantum Material” (Princeton University)
From superconductivity to fractionalized particles, fascinating phenomena arise in quantum materials due to the collective behaviors of electrons. These quantum effects challenge our understanding of nature and open up new […]
MSE Seminar: “Controlling Phase Separation in Elastomeric (Poly)peptides in the Production of Micro-and Nano-Structured Materials” (University of Delaware)
Macromolecular materials that are capable of selectively and efficiently localizing cells, factors, and/or drugs offer important approaches for mediating biological events and in the development of hybrid materials. We have […]
MSE Seminar: “‘Low Dimensional’ Rare-Earth-Free Permanent Magnetic Materials” (University of California, Riverside)
Critical elements such as rare-earth (RE) metals that are subject to supply risks and are incorporated in critical materials, play a central role in the function of these materials. They […]
MSE Seminar: “Interacting Opto-Moiré Quantum Matter” (University of Washington)
Moiré superlattices of two-dimensional (2D) materials are an emerging platform for studying new physical phenomena with high tunability. Strong excitonic responses in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) allow optical access to […]
