Program Highlights for year 2014

Epitaxial graphene may transform the computing and communications industry.

In collaboration with the Research Triangle MRSEC, a team from NC State University was awarded a grant from the NSF-MRI program for the purchase of an

Guided by hierarchical materials design principles evolved by bacteria, which include the use of curvature-induced strain to dynamically position amphiphiles, proteins and other biomolecules within single cells, IRG3 of the Wisconsin MRSEC has recently recapitulated these design principles

The IRG has developed a new material, GaAs_1-y-zP_yBi_z, as an alternative to the nitride–based bismide materials, specifically GaAs_1-y-zBi_yN_z.

Objective:  Develop plasmonic structures in which the

Diblock copolymers

Biofilms form on submerged or moist surfaces when bacteria attach and excrete slimy biopolymers to protect themselves,

This image is a photograph of a pattern of copper ions in a hydrogel. Anodizing a penny (copper) in contact with a negatively charged polyelectrolyte hydrogel creates the pattern. These patterned regions have several interesting implications:
