Glass research helps colorblind people see true colors for the first time
Metallic glasses in phones? Finally a (real) application for these materials?
Apple might use metallic glass alloys on back panel in next iPhones
Congratulations Emily and Gabe!
john.mccloyCongratulations to our group members who were determined by the School of Mechanical & Materials Engineering to be Outstanding Undergraduates for the 2016-17 year.
Emily Allen was outstanding Junior in Mechanical Engineering
Gabriel Cocking was outstanding Sophomore in Materials Science & Engineering.
Great work!
