The inaugural MMRI Symposium, which took place November 9 & 10 at NCRC, featured posters and presentations that addressed pressing materials challenges.
A GSC outreach team led by Brian Iezzi and Paul Chao researched and created a self-guided materials tour that explains the science behind select art objects.
The Hovden group is leading an international team analyzing how mullusks coax order from unpredictable layers -- findings that could help inform next-gen materials.
The Shahani and Glotzer groups are working together to examine how a self-healing phenomenon could reduce defects that rendered quasicrystals impractical.
The Sun group is leading an international team in developing a new computational model to design ceramic reactions, which can be broadly applied to accelerate the manufacturing and development of functional materials.
