Elliot & Nathan presenting his work at the APS March meeting in Boston, MA
Received a new grant from DOE NNSA for tuning of competing quantum states under extreme conditions.
Nathan mentoring high school student, Clarisa
Elliot explaining the EDM machine to the boy scouts.
Group outing for a fierce bowling competition. Elliot went easy on us but still won!
Low temperature set up is getting ready for some action.
Ray McBride, an ME graduate student, joined our group. Welcome Ray!
Desmond presented his work on the EDM set up at the Xerox Research Fellowship Symposium.
Raman, FTIR set up is done. Nathan and Elliot worked hard over the summer to finish the system in style.
Received a new grant from NSF DMR for studying novel hydrogen-rich materials at high pressures: Possible route to room temperature superconductivity.
Gordon Research Conference NH. Had a nice time with Ike’s current and past members.
Our ED machine arrived. Desmond and Elliot are working hard to get it operational for our diamond anvil experiments, which it wasn’t built for. We save at least $30,000. Right: first electrode that we made ~ 100 microns in diameter
Desmond completed building a portable stand for the 4k Stinger. Great job Desmond! This saved $5000 for the lab.
Nathan DG won the Outstanding Teaching Assistant award. Congratulations Nathan!
Elliot Snider, an ME graduate student, joined our group. Welcome Elliot!
Eric and Larry are setting up the cryostat and doing a test run. Nathan and Desmond are learning how to run the setup.
Our new stinger closed cycle 4K Flow System arrived
Custom-built FTIR setup arrived. Thanks, Mike, for helping us moving into the newly renovated lab
