Jun. 22, 2020—Check out Tom talking about our work published in ACS photonics with Alice Leach of VINSE here
See Guanyu’s paper highlighted on the cover of ACS Omega!
May. 26, 2020—The conceptual view illustrates the potential of driving one of the NIREM devices (nanophotonic infrared emitting metamaterial) via scavenging waste heat from a CPU heat sink. Within the work, we demonstrated that one could emit >10 mW of power at the narrow-band emission of a SiC nanostructure simply using the waste heat at 85C!

Summer students do top research
Aug. 12, 2019—Thanks to Autumn and Alyssa for all the hard work they put in this summer. Both had really productive summers, and managed to get a lot of great data studying the detection of gasses and liquids using infrared spectroscopy. In particular, congratulations to Alyssa – who won the NSF REU best poster award!
