Mastering the Thermodynamics of Metals at the Nanoscale
|
Prof. Christopher Schuh
Danae and Vasilios Salapatas Associate Professor of Metallurgy
Department of Materials Science and Engineering, MIT
Dilligent efforts to enhance the impact of alloying in metal vitrification are culminating into a revelatory understanding of the structure-control of matter, at the sub-micron to nanometer length scale. The technological implications for modern society, are profound…

Standing Tall in the Nanometer Regime
|
Prof. Silvija Gradecak
Merton C. Flemings Assistant Professor of Materials Science and Engineering
Department of Materials Science and Engineering, MIT
Semiconductor nanowires and nanotubes are virtuoso structures borne from a mature understanding of thin films science. Their record-breaking electronic and optical characteristics promise much for 21st century technologies, were it not for the processing black art that limits control of their structure. New tools, designed for nano-patterned deposition and nano-resolution metrology, are shining light onto the natural principles governing matter in the nanometer realm…

A Tiny Dot That Lit Up the World
|
Prof. Moungi Bawendi
Lester Wolfe Professor of Chemistry
Department of Chemistry, MIT
Quantum Dots are nanometer-sized structures whose discovery, close to twenty-five years ago, has steadily grown and ripened into a burgeoning biological and future electronic display industry. From quantum curiosity to changing the way we practice biology and consume electrical power, these tiny structures are on their way to making a big impact in our lives…
