Month: November 2020

Ten NC State faculty members have been elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the world’s largest scientific society and publisher of the journal Science.

Congratulations to Xingao on his passing the prelim exam!

This multi-disciplinary multi-PI project is looking to develop molecule/material hybrid photoelectrodes for cooperative sunlight-driven generation of liquid fuels from carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and water

• Intrinsically adaptive camouflage material
• A biomimetic phosphor that can build a rigid microenvironment for its long-lived afterglow in aqueous medium
• Electronic asymmetry of lattice oxygen sites in ZnO promotes the photocatalytic oxidative coupling of methane
• Mechano-photoexcitation for organic synthesis using mechanoluminescent materials as photon sources
• Development of novel reduced graphene oxide/metalloporphyrin nanocomposite with photocatalytic and antimicrobial activity for potential wastewater treatment and medical applications

• Using matter waves, scientists unveil novel collective behaviors in quantum optics
  A research team led by Dominik Schneble, Ph.D., Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, has uncovered a novel regime, or set of conditions within a system, for cooperative radiative phenomena, casting new light on a 70-year-old problem in quantum optics.
• Ultra-compact optical design enhances virtual and augmented reality device cameras
  Researchers from Seoul National University College of Engineering announced they have developed an optical design technology that dramatically reduces the volume of cameras with a folded lens system utilizing "metasurfaces," a next-generation nano-optical device.

• New theory reveals the shape of a single photon
• New method of generating eco-friendly energy
• Researchers develop crystals to harvest water from air, inspired by desert life
• Machine learning and supercomputer simulations help researchers to predict interactions between gold nanoparticles and blood proteins
• New route to 'quantum spin liquid' materials discovered

• Electron imaging reveals the vibrant colors of the outermost electron layer

  Surfaces play a key role in numerous chemical reactions, including catalysis and corrosion. Understanding the atomic structure of the surface of a functional material is essential for both engineers and chemists. Researchers used atomic-resolution secondary electron (SE) imaging to capture the atomic structure of the very top layer of materials to better understand the differences […]
