Tackling grand challenges in the materials science of liquids and glasses and non-equilibrium magnetism.
Research from the Wisconsin MRSEC seed on novel electron solids in two-dimensional materials headed by Ilya Esterlis and Alex Levchenko has shown that bilayer electron crystals exhibit a variety of magnetic states depending on the distance between the two layers and the number of electrons in each layer. These results establish bilayer crystals as a …
An article from Whitney Loo was showcased as part of a themed collection in September from the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) that highlighted select rising stars of applied polymer science research.
Assistant Professor Daniel Rhodes from the University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Materials Science & Engineering was awarded a National Science Foundation (NSF) Innovation Corps (I-Corps) grant, which began in February, 2026. With Ph.D. candidate, Yangchen He, as Entrepreneurial Lead, their team, Pristine Quantum, investigated the complex research and development challenges and industrial adoption barriers of novel 2D semiconductor thin films for next-generation logic and memory architecture.
In recognition of her work to literally put science in the hands of young people, Anne Lynn Gillian-Daniel has received a 2026 Bassam Z. Shakhashiri Public Science Engagement Award. This award, which is co-sponsored by the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation, the Morgridge Institute for Research, and the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, honors …
