Manthiram Receives Honors for Contributions to Materials Research
Professor Arumugam Manthiram has recently received several prestigious recognitions highlighting his impact at the intersection of materials science and artificial intelligence.
Can ToF‑SIMS deliver standardless quantitative analysis when reference materials aren’t available?
Mangolini’s group has pioneered the first demonstration of absolute hydrogen quantification in polymers using ToF‑SIMS, without standards or sensitivity factors. The approach, called the Full Spectrum Method (FSM), moves beyond relying on a handful of “marker” secondary-ion fragments. Instead, FSM sums the intensities of all detected secondary ions that contain the element(s) of interest, helping to reduce matrix effects that can distort absolute quantification.
Latest Progress from Guihua Yu's Group Highlights Improving the Stability of Aqueous Batteries
Materials Science & Engineering graduate student Tianrui (Terry) Zheng, along with postdoctoral researcher Zhengyu Ju under the direction of Dr. Guihua Yu, have published a paper that focuses on improving the stability of aqueous batteries in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). Also contributing to the paper were Dr. Amy Marschilok, Dr. Esther Takeuchi and Dr. Kenneth Takeuchi from Stony Brook University.
Alumni & Current Students of MS&E Program Lead on Collaborative Paper Showcasing New Way to Enhance Hydrogen Fuel Cells
Materials Science & Engineering alum Shanmukh Kutagulla and current student Patrick Carmichael are the lead authors on a new collaborative paper, out in ACS Nano, that presents a novel solution to problems that plague hydrogen fuel cells. Commonly used as an alternative to fossil fuels, hydrogen fuel cells currently have issues with hydrogen "leaking" through the membrane, lowering the efficiency and performance.
