Condensed matter systems provide a rich setting to realize Dirac and Majorana fermionic excitations and the possibility to manipulate them in materials for potential applications. Recently, it has been proposed that Weyl fermions, which are chiral, massless particles, can emerge in certain bulk
MRSEC researchers have recently discovered that enzymes - molecules that catalyze chemical reactions in cells - move during the reaction. Although this property is well known for motor proteins, it has not been previously known t

These evenings offer an opportunity for K-12 students and their parents to enter the realm of science and engineering together, such as the father and son seen here

Biomaterials implanted in the body evoke a “Foreign body response” which results in encapsulation of the material in a collagen-rich protein capsule. Fibroblast cells, which produce collagen, mediate this process that leads to biomaterial rejection / device failure in vivo. Surface nanotopography of BMGs can be used to engineer fibroblast-material interactions.
