MS graduate students Kevin Miller and Kelsey Beavers featured in Vanderbilt News
Jan. 2, 2015—KEVIN MILLER Kevin Miller reflected in his optoelectronic device. With a slight turn of the tweezers holding it, an inch-long, mirrored chip reflects the face of its creator. Less obvious than Kevin Miller’s smile are tiny filters on the chip’s surface that he hopes will one day replace the electronic components inside computers. Miller, a...

New form of crystalline order holds promise for thermoelectric applications
Nov. 14, 2014—Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope image showing the interlaced crystalline structure. (Wu Zhou/ORNL) Since the 1850s scientists have known that crystalline materials are organized into 14 different basic lattice structures. However, a team of researchers from Vanderbilt University and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) now reports that it has discovered an entirely new form of crystalline...
