The award, which recognizes outstanding technical contributions to the fields of nuclear and plasma science, will be presented at the 2018 International Conference on Plasma Science.

Liquid crystals are perhaps most well known for their use in electronic displays, but many biological molecules, such as those in cell membranes are forms of liquid crystals, as are some detergents and clays. What is unique about liquid crystals...

The paper titled “Three-dimensional Visualization and a Deep Learning Model Reveal Complex Fungal Parasite Networks in Behaviorally Manipulated Ants,” co-authored by David Hughes, an entomologist at Pennsylvania State University, and Danny Z. Chen, professor of computer science and engineering at...

From the earliest of days, researchers have been recording their observations, analyzing what they see to interpret and apply the facts before them. Today, however, imaging especially in biomedical communities requires more than the human eye or even incredibly accurate...

Yanliang Zhang and his team in the Advanced Manufacturing and Energy Lab are developing an innovative and highly scalable additive manufacturing process that may hold the key to transform the nanomaterials into multifunctional devices. Their work aims to fabricate high-performance...

Grocery stores. Coffee shops. Even some cities offer public WiFi. Add to those access points the number of private WiFi networks that exist and it’s easy to understand why the allocation and usage of the electromagnetic spectrum — the number...
