Nano-structure of thin polymer films is precisely controlled by new type of annealing

The big changes at CHESS you’ve been hearing about for the past couple of years are about to take place.  CHESS is being transformed by both a major facility upgrade – the CHESS-U upgrade project – and a transition to a new funding and organizational model.

As part of the new lending library for middle school program, the Xraise outreach team set out to test one of its latest developments, a design lesson plan in which students learn about electricity and magnetism through the designing of their own loudspeaker made from cups, coils and magnets. 

Metal Halide Perovskites (MHPs) are poised to revolutionize the field of optoelectronic materials with their phenomenal performance in solar cells, light emitting diodes (LEDs), photodetectors and lasers.

The view from the third floor of the new Geosciences, Physics and Engineering and Physical Sciences Hall at Fort Lewis College is an impressive one -- the San Juan Mountains rise prominently to the north while the desert Southwest edges up to the base of the range, the confluence of which marks the boundaries of the small city of Durango, CO. 

Resistance to antimicrobial agents is a worldwide problem. Not only do bacteria mutate to become resistant, they can acquire resistance genes from other bacteria. Using a structure-based strategy, researchers seek to identify new drugs which can inhibit this transfer and so limit the development of antimicrobial resistance.

TeraPore Technologies, the developer of advanced nanofiltration membrane systems for bioprocess and other applications, announced that it has completed a $6M Series A financing round.

Non-woven materials have fiber network structures and present some good physical properties, like high porosity, high mechanical strength and high toughness.
