Just like a book can't be judged by its cover, a material can't always be judged by its surface. But, for an elusive conjectured class of materials, physicists have now shown that the surface previously thought to be "featureless" holds an unmistakable signature that could lead to the first definitive observation.

Electron microscopy is being revolutionized by modern detectors. These detectors provide researchers unprecedented insights into proteins and the atomic structures of sophisticated materials, opening up hitherto uncharted territory in high-resolution imaging. At extremely short time intervals, these detectors gather data.

Researchers are making catalysts more efficient by designing nanoscale materials.

An innovative method of artificial intelligence (AI) allows for the reconstruction of a huge field of data, such as total ocean temperature, from a small number of field-deployable sensors utilizing low-powered “edge” computing, with extensive applications in industry, science, and medicine.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials-materials just a few atoms thick-can have special properties due to quantum mechanics.

Mengxia Liu, an assistant professor of electrical engineering, recently won the Packard Fellowship for her research on exploring foundational questions in energy carrier dynamics.

Biologist Himadri Pakrasi in Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis, who studies how cyanobacteria contribute to the chemistry of life, will lead a $5 million effort to develop technology to convert atmospheric nitrogen into fertilizer. Yinjie Tang and Yixin Chen in the McKelvey School of Engineering are co-investigators on the project.
