Professor Jamie Neilson’s Project Selected for the MAGNITO Program
Department of Chemistry’s Professor Jamie Neilson’s project that is supported and led by the University of Houston has been recognized as a selectee for the Magnetic Acceleration Generating New Innovations and Tactical Outcomes (MAGNITO) program by the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E).
Pushing the boundaries of ultracold neutral plasmas
Using a combination of laser cooling techniques and strong magnetic fields, researchers at Colorado State University have created an ultracold neutral plasma with electrons cooled to temperatures measured to be within one degree Kelvin (absolute zero) for the first time.
CSU chemists help find a new way around a long-established limitation to electron transfer selectivity
For decades, the field has been constrained by a fundamental principle of electron transfer.
Transforming carbon dioxide into a new kind of recyclable plastic
Researchers at Colorado State University have developed a process to transform naturally occurring and highly stable carbon dioxide into recyclable, high-performance materials that could replace today’s plastics in many situations.
