MaterialsViews Interviews: Karen Gleason
MaterialsViews catches up with Karen Gleason, Associate Dean of Engineering at MIT, to talk CVD, scientific jigsaws, and The Good Doctor.
Small, Fast, and High Contrast
Imaging technique enables studies on the dynamics of nanocatalysts at unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution.
Patterned Graphene Growth
Graphene films grown over epitaxial metal films deposited on single-crystalline substrates give unique micropits with rectangular and triangular shapes, reflecting the crystallographic orientation of the substrate.
Inner Space
Metals encapsulated within carbon nanotubes by capillary action are prevented from crystallizing by the confined space of the nanotubes.
Gallium Arsenide Infiltrates Nanoparticle Multilayers
Gallium arsenide is infiltrated for the first time within porous nanoparticle-based periodic multilayers to yield a new structure displaying finely tuned enhanced optical reflectance.
Shells, Fibers, and Superstructures
A new heteroepitaxial method of producing Ti02 nanomaterials with size, shape, and array control is discovered.
Buckle Up
In situ mechanical testing of 50-mm-diameter bundles of uniaxially compressed carbon nanotubes reveals periodic buckle nucleation and propagation.
Biting its Own Tail
New nanocontainer with an integrated switch
Concepts of Nanochemistry—Nanoscience as Part of Undergraduate Studies?
Nikolaus Korber recommends “Concepts of Nanochemistry”, a “fun to read” textbook with high didactic quality addressed to university teachers, students, and the interested general public.
