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

• Hydrazone-based photocages for precise sub-organelle visualization and drug release
• Copper-catalyzed C(sp3)−H amination and etherification of unactivated hydrocarbons via photoelectrochemical pathway
• Photochemical synthesis of natural lipids in artificial and living cells
• Photochemical C3-amination of pyridines via Zincke imine intermediates
• Real-time tracking of energy flow in cluster formation

• Polymer waveguides show promise for reliable, high-capacity optical communication
  Co-packaged optics (CPO) technology can integrate photonic integrated circuits (PICs) with electronic integrated circuits (EICs) like CPUs and GPUs on a single platform. This advanced technology has immense potential to improve data transmission efficiency within data centers and high-performance computing environments. CPO systems require a laser source for operation, which can be either integrated directly […]
• Phase-resolved attoclock precisely measures electron tunneling time
  When placed under a powerful laser field (i.e., under strong-field ionization), electrons can temporarily cross the so-called quantum tunneling barrier, an energy barrier that they would typically be unable to overcome. This quantum mechanics phenomenon, known as quantum tunneling, has been the focus of numerous research studies.

• Researchers develop recyclable, healable electronics
• Synthetic compound shows promise against multidrug resistance
• Laser technique revolutionizes ultra-high temperature ceramic manufacturing for space, defense applications
• Groundwork laid for designer hybrid 2D materials
• Cryo-em freezes the funk: How scientists visualized a pungent protein

• Insect protein blocks bacterial infection
  June 2, 2025
  Scientists have reported use of antibacterial coatings made from resilin-mimetic proteins to fully block bacteria from attaching to a surface. A protein that gives fleas their bounce has been used to boot out bacteria cells, with lab results demonstrating the material's potential for preventing medical implant infection.
