Yaowu Hao, associate professor of materials science and engineering, along with researchers Xiankai Sun and Sina Moeendarbari, invented a method of performing brachytherapy using radiotherapeutic seeds, or NanoSeeds.
Distinguished Professor of Physics J. Ping Liu synthesized ferromagnetic nanowires with high aspect ratio. The nanowires serve as ideal building blocks for future bonded, consolidated, and thin film magnets with high energy density and high thermal stability.
Distinguished University Professor Krishnan Rajeshwar and Functional Applied Biomaterials Lab Director Yi Shen received a patent for a unique approach to solar energy conversion and storage that uses all-vanadium photo-electrochemical storage cells.
