SPRING 2018 RESEARCH INCUBATION AWARDEE PI: David Campbell, Professor, Physics, CAS What is the Challenge? Atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) materials such as graphene and MoS2 have been studied extensively due to their exceptional physical properties (mechanical strength, electrical and thermal conductivity, etc.). Recently, the PIs were among the first to investigate “kirigami”-based 2D metamaterials. These […]
SPRING 2018 RESEARCH INCUBATION AWARDEE PI: Samuel Bazzi, Assistant Professor, Economics Co-PI: Martin Fiszbein, Professor, Economics What is the Challenge? What is the influence of the American Frontier on historical culture and modern politics in the United States?
