Biological, physical and mathematical sciences at Michigan State University
Tom Hamann, assistant professor of chemistry, has been awarded a Sloan Research Fellowship. The two-year fellowships are awarded yearly by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to 118 early-career scientists in recognition of distinguished performance and a unique potential to make substantial contributions to their field. His research interests in inorganic materials and electrochemistry of energy [...]
A black line, the trace of a pencil on paper, contains one of the most exciting high-tech materials, namely graphitic carbon. Even though many consider the diamond form of carbon as most precious, the layered graphitic structure has been puzzling scientists much more due to the vast number of related nanostructures, ranging from buckyballs [...]
After six decades of research, Jim Dye shows no signs of slowing down. While he officially retired from teaching at MSU 17 years ago, Dye has found a new way to package energy – more specifically, alkali metal silicides to produce hydrogen for fuel cells. 2011 looks to be a breakout year for the science [...]
A collaboration of six research groups at MSU has received funding in the form of a Strategic Partnership Grant (SPG) in order to push the current limit of material imaging capabilities to the most fundamental level and help solve a major hurdle in complex materials. The SPG, funded by the MSU Foundation, is designed to [...]
A center of research excellence in complex materials was established by MSU in June 2009. Physics professor Phil Duxbury is the inaugural director of the center. This commitment is part of the MSU initiative in complex materials and follows the recent hiring of five new faculty members in complex materials in physics, chemistry and engineering. [...]
