Uncertainty Measurements and the Wavelength of Light

Teaching Materials | 28 Oct 2016 | Contributor(s): Chris Kaus, NNCI Nano

This high school physics lesson is designed to help students understand how very small measurements can be made (even at the nanoscale) and how the accuracy of those measurements affects their results. In this lab, students will calculate the wavelength of a laser (on the nanoscale) using...

Designing Architectured Materials: Evolution vs. Intelligent Design

Online Presentations | 01 Nov 2016 | Contributor(s): Pablo Daniel Zavattieri

There is a strong demand for new paradigms of design and development of advanced high-performance structural materials with high strength and durability that are low-cost and renewable with novel combinations of properties. Yet, most of these applications require high-performance materials that...

Bringing Quantum Mechanics to Life: From Schrödinger's Cat to Schrödinger's Microbe

Online Presentations | 01 Nov 2016 | Contributor(s): Tongcang Li

In this talk, I will first give a brief introduction to basic concepts in quantum mechanics and the Schrödinger's cat thought experiment. I will then review developments in creating quantum superposition and entangled states and the realization of quantum teleportation. Non-trivial quantum...

How to View Atomic Planes in FCC, NaCl and Simple Cubic Structures using Crystal Viewer

Teaching Materials | 27 Oct 2016 | Contributor(s): Tanya Faltens

This step by step guide shows how to view atomic planes in some common crystal structures. The crystal structures can be sliced along the planes, and the atomic packing of each plane investigated.  Examples are given for viewing the (110) plane in an FCC metal structure, the (100)...

Low Temperature Enhancement of the Thermoelectric Seebeck Coefficient in Semiconductor Nanoribbons

Online Presentations | 09 Nov 2016 | Contributor(s): Kommini Adithya, Zlatan Aksamija

IWCE 2015 Presentation. We propose a novel approach to achieving a narrow window-shaped TDF through a combination of a step-like 2-dimensional density-of-states (DOS) and inelastic optical phonon scattering. A shift in the onset of scattering with respect to the step-like DOS creates a TDF which...

The Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition Its role in metastasis? Can Theory Help Cancer Biology?

Online Presentations | 19 Oct 2016 | Contributor(s): Herbert Levine

In order to spread from the primary tumor to distant sites, cancer cells must undergo a coordinated change in their phenotypic properties referred to as the "epithelial-to-mesenchymal" transition.  We have studied the nonlinear genetic circuits that are responsible for this...

NEMO5 and 2D Materials: Tuning Bandstructures, Wave Functions and Electrostatic Screening

Online Presentations | 19 Oct 2016 | Contributor(s): Tillmann Christoph Kubis

In this talk, I will briefly discuss the MLWF approach and compare it to DFT and atomistic tight binding. Initial results using the MLWF approach for 2D material based devices will be discussed and compared to experiments. These results unveil systematic band structure changes as functions of the...
