Mark A. Reed, the Harold Hodgkinson Professor of Electrical Engineering & Applied Physics, and integral member of the SEAS community for three decades, passed away peacefully in his home on May 5, 2021, at the age of 66.
Reed was an exemplary engineer and physicist, an intellectual pioneer, and internationally recognized for his pioneering innovations in nanotechnology. He joined the Yale faculty in 1990 after working at Texas Instruments, where he coined the term quantum dots and demonstrated the first quantum dot device. For more than 30 years at Yale, Reed was extremely active and continued his streak of firsts, including the first conductance measurement of a single molecule, the first single molecule transistor, and the development of CMOS nanowire biosensors. Reed was the author of more than 200 professional publications, 6 books, delivered 75 plenary and over 400 invited talks, and holds 33 U.S. and foreign patents on quantum effect, heterojunction, and molecu

Yale researchers studying the case of a young girl with a rare genetic disorder known as ANE Syndrome found that a small deletion (red) in the RBM28 protein, which is critical for assembly of ribosomes, was enough to avert fatal effects but prevented proper brain development.
This month, Insights & Outcomes investigates the molecular foundations of a rare disorder, kvells over a quantum hackathon, explores the buoyant nature of the childhood immune system, and forges new frontiers in the world of artificial spin ice.

Smaller, faster, more energy-efficient: future requirements to computing and data storage are hard to fulfill and alternative concepts are continuously explored. Small magnetic textures, so-called skyrmions, may become an ingredient in novel memory and logic devices. In order to be considered for technological application, however, fast and energy-efficient control of these nanometer-sized skyrmions is required.
Magnetic skyrmions are particle-like magnetization patches that form as very small swirls in an otherwise uniformly magnetized material. In particular ferromagnetic thin films, skyrmions are stable at room temperature, with diameters down to the ten-nanometer range. It is known that skyrmions can be created and moved by short pulses of ele
