A team of first-year ASU students won an award for building a dome that failed less destructively at the 2025 ASM International DomesDay competition.

Sui Yang, an assistant professor of materials science and engineering in the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy, part of the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University, operates equipment in his lab. He recently published a paper in Nano Letters about a novel way to manipulate light at the nanoscale using 3D printing, a capability that was previously out of reach.
