Localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) have a broad technology potential as an attractive platform for surface-enhanced spectroscopies, refractive index sensing, hyperthermal cancer therapy, plasmon-enhanced catalysis, and so on.
Come join MASC as they explore the world of Martio’s (Marten Site)’s mushroom kingdom and showcase the material properties through fascinating and exciting demonstrations. Can their knowledge save their friend from Bane’s (Bane Ite) domain of evil?
The Advanced Materials Characterization and Testing laboratory (AMCaT) is hosting our first AMCaT Open House. Join us for the presentations on the major characterization tools offered in the AMCaT followed by lab tours and a poster session!
Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a family of disruptive technologies that allow rapid fabrication of parts of nearly arbitrary geometrical complexity without the need of expensive tooling, vastly simplifying production of elaborate assemblies for a wide range of industries.
The science is clear-in the next 25 years we must undertake the most rapid energy transition in history to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. For our lab-scale innovations to matter, we must accelerate the scaleup and development process.
Join alumni, faculty and friends to reconnect, network and learn about the latest developments in the UC Davis Department of Materials Science and Engineering.
Understanding plasticity and strength of crystalline materials in terms of the physics of microscopic defects has been a long-standing goal of materials research.
Join the Materials Science and Engineering department for our Tea Time social with faculty, staff, graduate students, and undergraduate students. We'll provide hot water and tea! We encourage participants to bring a reusable mug, but disposable cups will also be available.
The ability of a material to undergo limited deformation is a critical aspect of conferring toughness as this enables the dissipation of high stresses which would otherwise cause fracture.
Corrosion of gas turbine components at high temperatures under salt deposits is a critical issue that adversely affects their performance and longevity. The analysis of failed components has indicated the presence of calcium-containing compounds in these deposits.
