Upcoming Workshops
Prof. John Rogers, 2009 MacArthur Fellow.Research Highlights
Rogers named 2009 MacArthur Fellow
MRL Principal Investigator Prof. John Rogers (MatSE) has been named a 2009 MacArthur Fellow. The MacArthur Fellows Program awards unrestricted fellowships to talented individuals who have shown extraordinary originality and dedication in their creative pursuits and a marked capacity for self-direction.
Science: Ultrathin LEDs create new classes of lighting and displays
Prof. John Rogers (MatSE) and colleagues have created a new process for the production of ultrathin, ultrasmall inorganic light-emitting diodes. The invention will enable new classes of lighting and flexible display systems.
TEAM stage recognized in 2009 R&D 100 Awards
A novel nano-positioning stage for electron microscopy co-invented by FSMRL Central Facilities Director Ivan Petrov and staff members Todor Donchev and Eric Olson has been awarded a 2009 R&D 100 Award.
New silver-based ink has applications in printed electronics
FS-MRL Director Jennifer Lewis (MatSE) and colleagues Ralph Nuzzo (Chemistry) and John Rogers (MatSE) have developed a new ink composed of silver nanoparticles which can be used in electronic and optoelectronic applications to create flexible, stretchable, and spanning microelectrodes.
Fradkin elected fellow of American Academy of Arts and Sciences
Prof. Eduardo Fradkin (Physics) has been elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences as part of 212 honorees in the class of 2009.
Petrov receives 2009 AVS R.F. Bunshah Award
FS-MRL Director of Central Facilities Ivan Petrov has been selected to receive the 2009 R.F. Bunshah Award from the Advanced Surface Science Engineering Division of the American Vacuum Society.
New imaging technique reveals the atomic structure of nanocrystals
FS-MRL Principal Investigator Jim Zuo (MatSE) and collaborators have developed a new imaging technique that overcomes the limit of diffraction and can reveal the atomic structure of a single nanocrystal with a resolution of less than one angstrom.
