Grosso plans to use the funding, totaling over $537,000, to research new materials for quantum information technology, and to make this sometimes-intimidating field more accessible to students. Read more
Andrea Alù
Alù is widely known for his photonics research, particularly in the area of metamaterials — artificial materials that have highly unusual properties. Read more
The photo provides a conceptual view of how water can exist in two liquid states separated by a thin interface. The bottom liquid is more dense than the one on top, because it is composed of water molecules that are more closely packed. (Credit: Getty Images)
A newly published Science journal paper co-authored by Professor Nicolas Giovambattista answers one of the most important questions in the chemistry and physics of water. Read more
