"The smaller the crystals, the bigger the possibilities." So goes one of the mottos of Fadi Abdeljawad, an associate professor of materials science and engineering at Lehigh University. Abdeljawad ...

Conventional antiferromagnetic materials exhibit net zero magnetization and spin-degenerate energy bands, making them incompatible with current memory technologies that rely on net magnetization. A ...

To make great stuff, sometimes you have to break stuff. UNIV 264, a course in materials science taught by Professor Tim Raymond, chemical engineering, takes this maxim to the extreme. In Raymond's ...
