Computationally designed tetrameric coiled coils, ranging from 8-29 amino acids, revealed a minimum of three heptads (21 amino acids) is necessary for stable coiled coil formation, establishing a minimum sequence for the creation of building blocks to construct nanostructured material.
Despite being a primary experimental probe of spin-charge coupled dynamics and transport, there have been virtually no calculations of THz radiation from such systems since the inception of this field in 1996. The MRSEC team at the University of Delaware this longstanding problem by introducing two new complementary frameworks, which combine time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) or time-dependent nonequilibrium Green’s functions (TDNEGF) with Jefimenko solutions of the Maxwell equations.
FORGES is a summer program designed to offer exposure and experience in collegiate-level STEM work to local high school students who are interested in a career or academic pathway
in STEM. CHARM partners with University of Delaware departments and industry partners to provide hands-on activities, collegiate and industrial laboratory exposure, and interactions with faculty, students, and staff.
MRSECs support interdisciplinary materials research and education of the highest quality while addressing fundamental problems in science and engineering that are important to society. Read about how MRSECs function along with opportunities they offer in research, collaboration, and outreach and professional development.
Welcome to the internet hub of the Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers (MRSEC), a network of Centers located at academic institutions throughout the United States, funded by the National Science Foundation. This website provides organized connections to information and resources at the various MRSECs for the international scientific, industrial, and educational materials research and development communities.
