rnational Nanotechnology means a future of smart dust

Nanotechnology is set to drive a revolution in “intelligent avionics” that will help cut aircraft fuel burn and improve safety. A technology forecast by PricewaterhouseCoopers envisages wireless sensors becoming so small that aerospace engineers of the 2020s will be able to embed layers of them in or on components or structures. So-called “smart dust” promises to revolutionise avionics, by communicating ... Read More »

Five Steps to Save America’s Defense Industrial Base

The U.S. defense base is on the verge of a crisis—losing the design engineering and industrial capacity to affordably produce the cutting-edge military systems that once gave the American military an unassailable advantage. The reason for this is simple: The free market works. When there is no competitive market for goods and services, the industries that produce them dry up ... Read More »

Postdoctoral Appointee, Materials Science Division

Basic Purpose This project involves the use of a unique aberration-corrected Lorentz transmission electron microscopy to carry out analysis of the microstructure and magnetic behavior of nanostructures, including layered oxide heterostructures at the nanometer scale. This research will involve in situ TEM experiments using an electric biasing holder as well as a magnetizing holder to study the transport and domain ... Read More »

Postdoctoral position in modeling the structure of nanosized particles

Postdoctoral associate is neeeded to take part in a project aimed at understanding the atomic scale structure of nanosized particles, mostly metallic, and relating the new structure knowldge to the nanopartilcles’ properties. The postdoc will be involed in the structure modeling aspect and so should be very computer literate/savvy, and fluent in modeling techniques such as reverse Monte Carlo, molecular ... Read More »
