CEMAS students awarded at Materials Week

Congratulations are in order to the Top 10 poster winners showcasing research at Ohio State during the 2018 OSU Materials Week! Of the ten winners, three are CEMAS students and post-docs, including Dr. Bryan Esser (advised by Dr. David McComb ), Gabriel Calderon Ortiz (advised by Dr. | LEARN MORE

Multidisciplinary team receives DARPA award to develop novel magnetic materials

As market forces drive electronic and mechanical devices to become smaller and smaller, there is a rapidly intensifying need for high-density and energy-efficient magnetic information storage. However, magnetic storage becomes increasingly volatile... | LEARN MORE

CryoTEM characterization of dual-functional lipid-like nanoparticles

Multi-functional nanomaterials possess manifold properties. Extensive interest aroused recently in developing biomedical nanomaterials that target for both therapeutic and diagnostic applications. An ongoing collaboration between CEMAS and the College... | LEARN MORE

TEM used to detect copper in e-cigarette vapor

E-cigarettes have become quite popular recently and have a reputation of being less harmful than regular cigarettes.  However, few analyses have been done on the smoke or vapors emitted from these devices.  There is some evidence that the emitted... | LEARN MORE

Experimental instrumentation helps understand variation in mechanical behavior

The mechanical performance of materials can be explicitly related to local grain structures at the microscopic scale and smaller. Using advanced experimental instrumentation, direct measurements of mechanical properties can now be taken from targeted regions within a microstructure. | LEARN MORE
