The University of Toronto announces that Distinguished Professor in Plasma Engineering Javad Mostaghimi has been elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada for his research on simulating the dynamics of droplet impact and solidification in thermal spray coating processes.
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the original Star Trek series premiere, physics professor (and sci-fi fan) David Grier offers a look into his New York University lab—the birthplace of the real-life tractor beam.
While metal oxide semiconductors have been widely considered to exhibit outstanding durability, performance degradation in these solar energy harvesting components happens frequently. Understanding the degradation is essential for developing stable, efficient photosystems. To address the failure, a team at the Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis, Calif., uncovered the mysteries of photochemical instability in a widely […]
Engineers have found a simple method for producing high-quality graphene: Bake the compound in a microwave oven.
This is my last message as President of the Thermal Spray Society! Doug Puerta will take over the TSS Presidency on October 1, and you will be hearing from him each month.
