Frontiers in Inorganic Nanoscience: Catching Up with the Milliron Research Group
Smarter Window Materials Can Control Light and Energy
Researchers in the Milliron Research Group at the McKetta Department of Chemical Engineering are one step closer to delivering smart windows with a new level of energy efficiency, engineering materials that allow windows to reveal light without transferring heat and, conversely, to block light while allowing heat transmission, as described in two new research papers.… Read the rest »

Korgel Group Brightens Future for Silicon
Professor Brian Korgel and his research group have been featured on chemeurope.com for creating the first ordered arrays, or superlattices, of silicon nanocrystals, also known as quantum dots. Their work could help utilize light-emitting properties of silicon to develop things like light-emitting diodes (LEDs) or possible lasers.
Bulk silicon is one of the most commercially … Read the rest »
