Density functional theory is limited by a mystery at its heart: the universal exchange-correlation functional. U-M researchers are trying to uncover it.
'Undercooled: A Materials Education' podcast, hosted by Steve Yalisove and Tim Chambers, was featured in a "podcasts to try" cover story in the September issue of TMS' JOM magazine.
A new method reveals copper selenide’s elusive electrical properties and vibrational patterns, moving towards thermoelectric generators, solid-state batteries or silent fridges.
A new specimen holder gives scientists more control over ultra-cold temperatures, enabling the study of how materials acquire properties useful in quantum computers.
Reaching 98% efficiency in a solid state and 94% in solution, the small fluorescent molecule’s design could cut down development time and cost for future applications.
As SCGSR recipients, Chlupsa (Shahani group) will spend 12 months at Argonne National Laboratory and Wang (Kioupakis group) will spend five months at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab.
Remarkably, every single eligible undergraduate who's worked in Robert Hovden's lab has received the prestigious award. Will Millsaps and Miti Shah make him 6-for-6.
The award recognizes emerging early-career leaders who have made significant contributions in their respective fields within polymer materials science and engineering.
