ORONO, Maine, Oct. 16 -- University of Maine issued the following news release:
U.S. Department of Energy-supported project is led by assistant professor Tomas Marangoni (Department of Chemistry and Frontier Institute for Research in Sensor Technologies, FIRST)
As computer chips approach the limits of miniaturization, University of Maine researchers are exploring new quantum materials that could help power the next generation of electronics.
A U.S. Department of Energy grant announced Friday, Oct. 16, will support the project.
Led by Tomas Marangoni, an assistant professor of chemistry, the team will build materials from metal atoms held together by organic molecules. These tiny parts form a repeating structure, much like a framework, b...
