Abstract: For the deployment of new semiconductors, rapid discovery and property optimization is crucial. Theoretical understanding of structure-property relationships allows us to predict target materials based on the desired properties for an intended application, such as solar energy harvesting. However, crystallographic defects can negatively impact the optoelectronic properties of promising materials, as is the case […]

Abstract: As demand for long-term energy storage increases, next-generation battery materials work to fulfill demands for longer cycle lifetimes and higher capacity. Solid electrolytes are impressive candidate materials showing both slow degradation and increased stability against alkali metals, as compared to non-aqueous liquid electrolyte counterparts.(1) Lithium phosphorus oxynitride (LiPON) has shown promise for use as a […]

Abstract: Enzymes are highly efficient catalysts and essential to life, prompting significant research into how they function. Understanding various structural or electronic properties of enzymes and how they contribute to enzymatic function will help researchers take advantage of catalytic motifs and design bioinspired molecular catalysts. There are several methods of computationally studying enzymatic reactions which […]

Abstract: Magnetic hyperthermia and photothermia have emerged as state-of-the-art thermal treatments for cancer. These methods utilize nanomaterial focusing agents, generally magnetic nanoparticles in magnetic hyperthermia and plasmonic nanoparticles in photothermia, and an external physical stimulus to provide efficient, noninvasive treatment. However, each method suffers from distinct challenges. These challenges have led to an interest in […]

Abstract: As the demands for energy generation continue to increase, clean energy technologies are crucial. A key component to many of these technologies is the use of permanent magnets (PMs). In the development of PMs, there is a push to move away from the rare earth elements (REEs) commonly used for cheaper, more abundant transition […]
