Scientists issue warning over new findings about Antarctica's ice sheet

Professor Hélène Seroussi is featured in an article about her study that integrates data from 16 ice-sheet models to forecast the future of Antarctica's glaciers. "The exact timing of such collapses remains unknown and depends on future greenhouse gas emissions, so we need to respond quickly enough to reduce emissions before the major basins in Antarctica are lost," Seroussi said.

3D Metastructure for Better Energy Harvesting

PhD students Huan Zhao and Xiangbei Liu, and Professor Yan Li co-authored "Architecture Design of High-Performance Piezoelectric Energy Harvester with 3D Metastructure Substrate" featured on the cover of Advanced Theory and Simulations. "We achieved a remarkable 13.26-fold improvement in PEH performance by replacing the traditional solid substrate with a 3D auxetic unit-cell metastructure," says Li.

Oxygen Evolution Reaction

Professor Geoffroy Hautier is one of six co-authors of a perspective published in Nature Energy about the path to more efficient production of sustainable fuels. The researchers describe a way to map out the oxygen evolution reaction that's critical for sustainable, decarbonized fuels such as hydrogen.

Nanoparticle-Based Biosensors

PhD candidate Gabby Moss and Professor Sol Diamond co-authored "Effects of Salt Concentration on a Magnetic Nanoparticle-Based Aggregation Assay with a Tunable Dynamic Range," published in Sensors. The team experimentally demonstrated the effects of salt concentration on magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) biosensing efficacy and mathematically modeled MNP stability in solutions with different salt concentrations. "Our work can be leveraged to design an in vivo nanoparticle-based biosensor with enhanced efficacy in the event of varying salt concentrations," says Moss.

NIH Cancer Imaging Award

Professors Geoffrey Luke and Kim Samkoe were awarded a $2.2 million four-year grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). "The project is focused on combining ultrasound imaging with tumor-targeted nanodroplets to detect the presence of oral cancer in lymph nodes," says Luke. The research could lead to better diagnosis and fewer surgeries.
