Rice University researchers have synthesized and isolated plasmonic magnesium nanoparticles that show all the promise of their gold, silver and aluminum cousins with none of the drawbacks. The research appears in the American Chemical Society journal Nano Letters.
A discovery by researchers at Houston Methodist Research Institute and Rice University could impact drug delivery systems, water filtration and energy production. The team investigating how drug molecules in a solution travel through a nanofluidic membrane found that the molecules and membrane do not interact as expected.
“She is a student advocate and has developed many new processes to support their well-being. She fights for student rights and has an open-door policy.”
Chris Hareland, junior in materials science and nanoengineering, won the Barry Feldman Memorial Scholarship from The Copper Club. The $10,000 award “recognizes exceptional individuals who have excelled in the study of mining and metallurgy.”
Nineteen new materials scientists will receive their Rice degree on Saturday, May 12, and will pass through the Sallyport for the first time since their matriculation in fall 2014.
An international team led by scientists from Rice University has created another two-dimensional material that the researchers said could be a game changer for solar fuel generation.
Wendy Valka Hoenig '86 received an Outstanding Engineering Alumni Award in recognition of her “outstanding professional achievement and service to society.” She is president and CEO of H&H Business Development and is past president of the Board of Directors for the Rice Engineering Alumni.
Rice University materials scientists show how salt lowers reaction temperatures to make novel materials and could lead to smaller and faster transistors, photovoltaics, sensors and catalysts.
Graduate student Dave Tsai was one of eight graduate-student researchers to receive the gold award from a field of 300 candidates. His work was recognized for its “particularly significant and timely research” and for its applications in photovoltaics and LEDs.
