Presenting on More Sustainable Microchip Technologies
The Liu Research Group presented at the 2026 Materials Research Society Spring Meeting in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, showcasing their latest research on next-generation semiconductor materials and processes for more sustainable microchip technologies. Presentations included: Professor Jifeng Liu on atomic ordering in semiconductor alloys as a new degree of freedom for performance-sustainability synergy; PhD student Shangda Li on defect mitigation in low-temperature Ge and GeSn heteroepitaxy on silicon using self-assembled nanoscale oxide templates; and PhD student Yicheng Wang on identifying atomic short-range order in SiGeSn alloys using atom probe tomography toward sustainable infrared semiconductors.

Environmental Impacts of NICUs and Their Alternatives
An undergraduate capstone project team—Will Clendenning Th'24, Chad Klaas '24 Th'25, Samantha Melgar '24, and Ismael Rosales-Albarran '24—along with co-author and CEDC Director Emily Monroe, published their project results titled, "Using Life Cycle Assessments to Measure the Environmental Impact of Alternative Care Models in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit" in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health. The team compared traditional hospital NICUs against "Hope Grows at Home," a home-care model for premature infants. Although other evidence shows no difference in health outcomes, their assessment showed significant reductions in both carbon emissions and solid waste by shifting to the home-care model.

Reducing Glacier Mass Loss
Professor Colin Meyer and Research Scientist Aleah Sommers are co-authors of "A model of water extraction from the subglacial hydrologic system under idealized conditions" published in The Cryosphere. The study investigates how removing water from under the ice can moderately slow glaciers by lowering subglacial water pressure. "Our work improves understanding of glacier dynamics and suggests that studying water removal could enhance knowledge of subglacial systems and potentially slow glacier flow," said Meyer.

NIH Grant to Translate Neurotransmitter Sensor Technology
PhD student Dongyeol "Shin" Jang, PhD Innovation Fellow Bella Schaub, Research Scientist Wendy Qi, and Professor Hui Fang received a $3M grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to translate their sensor technology for real-time monitoring of neurotransmitters into a human medical device. The funding will enable the Fang Research Group to develop a preclinical proof-of-concept for integrating their novel carbon coating technology into neurotransmitter sensors for humans. "This grant is a tribute to years of extraordinary work by our team—Wendy, Shin, and Bella's contributions in particular have been indispensable," said Fang. "By translating our neurotransmitter sensor technology into a human medical device, we stand to transform neurological care, enabling more precisely targeted therapies and accelerating the development of next-generation drugs for brain disorders."
