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 »

Sometimes Size Does Matter: Rethink Nanotechnology to Convert a Car's Waste Heat into Electrical Power
COLLEGE PARK, Md.—No one is happy about rising gas prices, and to make matters worse, up to 60 percent of each $4 gallon is wasted, lost as heat that pours out of the exhaust pipe. But what if some of that heat could be collected and converted back into electricity that can recharge the battery that powers the lights, wipers, ... 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 »
