  • Use of an advanced in situ electron microscope that enables atoms within nanoparticles to be closely observed under a wide range of conditions is aiding research led by Professor Peter Crozier to explore ways to improve materials used in many engineering and related technological applications. Standing with Crozier (second from left) in an Arizona State University microscopy facility are others involved in the research, material science and engineering doctoral students Yifan Wang (far left) and Blake Dorame (far right), along with doctoral student Mai Tan (sitting at left) and Piyush Haluai (sitting at right), a research engineer in ASU’s Eyring Materials Center.

    Intricate movements of tiny pieces of matter hold key to engineering innovation

    Enhancing visualization of nanoparticle dynamics on materials’ surfaces opens paths to high-tech progress How nanomaterials form, develop and hold up in stressful environments associated with working conditions in technological projects indicates their suitability, or lack of it, for engineering fields, such as catalysis and many other technology-based applications. In technological applications such as catalysis, nanoparticles…

  • Brothers and Arizona State University chemical engineering alumni, (left to right) Ron and Stanley Hall, both graduated with chemical engineering degrees in 1982. They each went on to have fulfilling engineering careers, crediting their time at ASU as critical to their success. Photo courtesy of Stanley Hall

    Flashback to ’82: How ASU paved the way to success for Stanley and Ron Hall

    “Can you lend me $5 so I can get gas and go to school this afternoon?” That’s a question Stanley Hall once asked his eight-year-old brother after realizing he did not have enough money to get to ASU’s campus from their home. The question marks Stanley’s challenging start to his journey at ASU but sets…

    ASU researcher Yang Jiao discovers special state of matter

    The ancient Chinese concept of yin and yang — which describes how seemingly opposite forces such as day and night are interconnected and interdependent — can be used to understand the concept of hyperuniformity. Yang Jiao, a professor of materials science and engineering in the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy, part of Ira A. Fulton…
