UA Physicist Named to Endowed Nanotechnology Chair

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
The University of Arkansas (UA) in Fayetteville announced that physics professor Min Xiao has been named the inaugural holder of its university-endowed Twenty-First Century Chair in Nanotechnology, created to bring together scientists to study behavioral changes at the nanoscale in materials such as living cells, semiconductors, optoelectronic materials, surface coatings and metals with support from the university's Arkansas-Oklahoma Materials Research Science and Engineering Center. Since joining the physics department in 1990, Xiao has received nearly $5 million in funding from sources...Read full article

    Glossary
    nanotechnology
    The use of atoms, molecules and molecular-scale structures to enhance existing technology and develop new materials and devices. The goal of this technology is to manipulate atomic and molecular particles to create devices that are thousands of times smaller and faster than those of the current microtechnologies.
    optical
    Pertaining to optics and the phenomena of light.
    optoelectronic
    Pertaining to a device that responds to optical power, emits or modifies optical radiation, or utilizes optical radiation for its internal operation. Any device that functions as an electrical-to-optical or optical-to-electrical transducer. Electro-optic often is used erroneously as a synonym.
    quantum
    The term quantum refers to the fundamental unit or discrete amount of a physical quantity involved in interactions at the atomic and subatomic scales. It originates from quantum theory, a branch of physics that emerged in the early 20th century to explain phenomena observed on very small scales, where classical physics fails to provide accurate explanations. In the context of quantum theory, several key concepts are associated with the term quantum: Quantum mechanics: This is the branch of...
