Depending upon the material, enhanced corrosion resistance can be obtained by manipulating surface properties like composition, structure, and topography. Factors influencing the choice of ...

A series of experiments support spectral data recently collected by the James Webb Space Telescope that found evidence that the icy surface of Jupiter's moon Europa is constantly changing. Europa's ...

Our research focuses on creating specialized molecules that can fundamentally change the properties of surfaces at both the planar and nanoscale. Think of these molecules as smart "surface coatings" ...
