TMI Welcomes a New, Cutting Edge Ion Microscope
In 2022 Texas Materials Institute (TMI) has purchased a new, state-of-the-art time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometer (TOF-SIMS), an outstanding addition to the analytical capabilities at TMI. The new ion microscope (ionTOF M6, Fig. 1) has been installed in June 2023 in the Engineering Education and Research Center (EER), located in the main campus at UT Austin, and it is available to all users since July 2023.
'3D Electrokinetic Tweezers' Enables New Level of Control of Tiny Particles
Microscopically small particles are very challenging to move around. So much so that the breakthrough technology for doing that won the Nobel Prize more than 25 years ago.
UT News: Water-Purifying Cup Makes Drinkable Water From Creeks and Streams
A rash of storms in Texas in recent years — from Hurricane Harvey in 2017 to the deep freeze in 2021 — has put big chunks of the population in danger and left millions without electricity or water for long periods.
ABC Radio: The life of the oldest Nobel Prize winner, John Goodenough
The scientist behind the lithium-ion battery, John Goodenough, died last month at the age of 100. Goodenough's career spanned seven decades, during which his discoveries sparked the wireless revolution.
