As climate change becomes an evermore concerning issue, researchers are working to make carbon capture and storage technologies more accessible, stable and environmentally friendly. See how a team of students is taking on the challenge one cubic foot at a time.
Professor Yayoi Takamura and her group participated in experiments that show applied voltages can dramatically alter the magnetic properties of quantum materials, which could lead to energy-efficient methods for controlling magnetism in spintronic devices.
The professor of materials science and engineering has been recognized for her contributions to the field of optics and photonics, specifically in transient photonics and optical properties of metal alloys.
SPIE, an international society that brings academics and business professionals together to advance light-based science and technology, has elected Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Jeremy Munday and Professor of Materials Science and Engineering Marina Leite as fellows.
Arden Stratton, an undergraduate student at UC Davis, shifted gears from chemistry to materials science and engineering after discovering a passion for materials research. Now, she's steering toward success in conducting alloy research and driving a Unitrans bus.
Professor of Materials Science and Engineering Marina Leite leads a team of UC Davis researchers in an AI-driven project to build foundational knowledge of halide perovskites, a promising material for solar cells.
The materials science and engineering researcher and an interdisciplinary team formed at the Research Corporation for Science Advancement's Scialog have received funding to investigate water-free mining of valuable metals like iron and lithium.
In collaboration with materials company Homerun Resources, Inc., UC Davis engineering researchers have developed a one-step laser technique that purifies raw silica sand to over 99.99% silica. This is the first step in a multiphase project to create a clean-energy pathway to producing silicon.
