August 1st, 2012

Professor Akinwande havs received the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) Young Investigator Award. DTRA will support Dr. Akinwande’s investigation of the unique properties of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) nanomaterials for acoustic vibrational sensing. The work could lead to novel ways for passive sensing of activity or interference at remote, unattended sites with high-value security assets [...]
